The 8th Annual Visitor Information Centre Summit - 2008  

Marysville, The Yarra Valley

August 6-8, 2008

Tourism Alliance Victoria held the 8th Annual Visitor Information Centre Summit in Marysville on 6th to 8th August.

The Summit is a conference designed for Visitor Information Centre managers and staff as well as local shires, councils and businesses who have regular contact with centres within their region. It is a vaulable forum for delegates to share information, learn about new innovations and ideas from others around the state and to network with people in the same field. This year's program was jam packed and featured many speakers from all around Victoria as well as special guests from Queensland and New Zealand. The event was as always an invaluable opportunity for the accredited visitor information centre network to get together and share ideas and information with fellow managers around the state.

Tourism Alliance would once again like to thank all the sponsors of the event including Parks Victoria, The City of Melbourne, Tourism Victoria, The Shire of Yarra Ranges, AAA Tourism, Destinations Victoria, Murrindindi Shire Council, Murrindindi Regional Tourism Association, Swinburne University, Melbourne Airport , OAMPS Insurance Brokers and PRIME television. Without their valued support events such as these would not be possible.
