Taxpayer-funded agency Tourism WA has secretly scrapped a AU$2m global campaign that was already under production.
The campaign had made significant progress with production work getting underway in September 2020.
The project, called "Our Story: The Spirit of Adventure, included consultation from 500 tourism business owners and industry leaders from across the state.
However, the agency has since revealed that they decided the project no longer "met the long-term needs of the post-pandemic traveller".
"As many organisations have experienced, COVID-19 impacted the objectives of services contracted before the pandemic," a statement read.
