About Lynette Bergin
The Tourism Industry will remember Lynette Bergin in lots of ways; someone that always got into the swing of an event - a silly hat, dressed as the plumb pudding or the Christmas tree or trailing the bright blue boa. Lynette always left an impression and usually in brightly coloured shoes! In the early 1990's Lynette provided a role model for many new and emerging tourism businesses. Lynette encouraged them all to integrate more fun into the sales process and the product message from Victoria became wrapped into a variety of entertainment themes. The enthusiasm with which the industry responded to these ideas was testament to their success and Lynette's commitment to professionalism. She was the consummate sales person; she built her networks into family friends - the remembrance of annual festivities and family celebrations. She was where the business was - out in the market place not behind her desk. Above all, she was a caring and compassionate person, loyal to tourism and to her workmates in an industry that she loved. She showed incredible dedication to her employer and to the tourism industry and regardless of her commitment to her job she always found time to mentor and guide the newest tourism recruits. Tutelage in Lynette's care was always gentle guidance, the industry protocols and a long remembered example of how to enjoy every moment of your job and your life. Lynette's family are proud that her involvement and contribution to the tourism industry will be recognised through this Tourism Fellowship Award. |
