Local

Talk to your Local Tourism Association about what they can offer and perhaps, see if you can join! Check with your local Council or Visitor Information Centre for details.

There are a number of steps you can take yourself to build relationships and partnerships with the tourism industry.

  1. Check out accommodation providers near you. See if they have a website which highlights Local Things to See & Do and get listed. You can have an open day or get together to show a number what you do. If you are holding such an event you should invite others such as the volunteers that may work in the local Visitor Information Centre.
  2. See if there are operators that you can partner or package with. These may be other arts-related or could be different package with an accommodation provider to give their guests a discount or a special tour or activity.
  3. If you have a flyer see if others will display your flyer, you may have to reciprocate. If you don’t have a flyer this maybe something package with other like operators.
  4. Explore relationships with local cafes, community hubs and gathering points to see who will display your flyers or event posters.
  5. Establish a relationship with your community paper and make sure you keep them informed of any change, new addition or special event you may be offering.
