Tourism Council WA has welcomed the launch of Rottnest Fast Ferries’ new Ocean Master catamaran.
Tourism Council WA CEO Evan Hall said the purpose-built Rottnest Island vessel would provide a comfortable and enjoyable journey for Rottnest Island visitors.
Mr Hall said close to 800,000 people visited Rottnest Island annually, generating $283 million in visitor spending, which created 2,180 total jobs across WA.
“Rottnest Island is an international drawcard, one of the few places where you can have an overnight beachfront experience - it’s what WA is famous for,” Mr Hall said.
Mr Hall said the new vessel, paired with recently announced Rottnest Island tourism experiences, would boost tourism to the island.
