Regional boundaries

Tourism research data is typically provided for Victoria's 12 tourism regions including Melbourne.

Some large tourism regions also contain sub-regions. Each tourism region or sub-region is constructed using smaller geographical building blocks called Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2s) developed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
