Greater Shepparton in partnership with Goulburn River Valley Tourism was recently announced as the host location for the 2016 Victorian Visitor Information Centre Summit.
The summit will see about 150 delegates over three days in attendance and provide an opportunity to showcase the region to visitor centre representatives from across the state.
Greater Shepparton City Council’s Manager Investment Attraction Geraldine Christou said Council will work closely with the Victorian Tourism Industry Council and Goulburn River Valley Tourism to put together the program for the event, which will include famil tours, networking opportunities and guest speakers.
“This will also be a fantastic opportunity for our regional tourism providers to promote their products and services to visitor centre representatives from across Victoria,” Ms Christou said.
“I congratulate staff on their efforts in securing this event for our region in what is a very competitive process. It is a highly sought-after event in the tourism industry.
The summit has tentatively been scheduled for 10-12 August 2016.
