Australian Regional Tourism Convention back to an in-person event
Ballarat, Victoria, will host the Australian Regional Tourism Convention later this year.
Held on 11-13 October 2021, the City of Ballarat is ‘thrilled’ to be host of the ART Convention.
The 2021 Convention theme is ‘A Robust Visitor Economy – navigating our new future.’
"Ballarat is thrilled to be able to host the Convention. The City of Ballarat and our tourism partners are leaders in regional tourism and we relish the opportunity to show the great work being done in our region," said City of Ballarat Mayor, Cr Daniel Moloney.
The Convention is a key event for local councils, regional tourism organisations, tourism professionals and businesses.
Following the pandemic and restrictions last year, the City was unable to host the Convention in 2020, with the event being held virtually.
"We are thrilled to announce the 2021 Convention will be happening in person this year in Victoria. After the year we have all experienced, it’s time to come together in person and feel connected." said Coralie Bell, ART Chair.
Australian Regional Tourism will soon be calling for expressions of interest for presenters and will be putting forward a famil program to showcase the Ballarat region.
Australian Regional Tourism (ART) is the peak national body representing regional tourism businesses. ART advocates for sustainable regional development.
