The 10th Annual 2010 Visitor Information Centre (VIC) Summit
Warrnambool, The Great Ocean Road, 4 - 6 August 2010
The Annual VIC Summit program is designed especially 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 saw delegates get a real taste of what the region has to offer on the first day of the event with three familiarisation tours organised in various locations around the coast. The following two days provided the 95 attendees with a opportunity for those involved in the VIC space to discuss issues, seek information and explore ideas to enhance their businesses.
