The 9th Annual 2009 Visitor Information Centre Summit
Bendigo, The Goldfields
5-7 August 2009
Tourism Alliance Victoria held the 9th Annual Visitor Information Centre Summit in Bendigo 5 to 7 August 2009.
The Summit is designed specifically for Visitor Information Centre managers and staff as well as local shires, councils and businesses who have regular contact with centres in their region. This year's event was a valuable 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 provided the perfect opportunity for those involved in the VIC space to discuss issues, seek information and explore ideas to enhance their businesses.
