Destination Riverina Murray and Murray Regional Tourism have partnered to deliver a series of five Destination Inspiration events across the Riverina Murray region in February and March 2021. The events will be followed by a mentoring program that provides hands-on support to build the capacity and capabilities of tourism businesses towards the development of new visitor experiences.
Participants at the Destination Inspiration event series who want to advance their ideas will be invited to express their interest in participating in the one-on-one mentoring program. The 6-month program will have spaces for up to 15 participants and is designed to accelerate the product development process and progress ideas into new or enhanced experiences for visitors to the region.
The Destination Inspiration Event Series and Mentoring Program is supported by the Commonwealth Government’s Building Better Regions Fund.
OBJECTIVES
1. To motivate and inspire the development of new tourism businesses or the enhancement of existing tourism businesses.
2. To educate and inform participants about what consumers expect from a visitor experience and what is considered best practice.
3. For people to leave the event thinking “I’ve got a great idea. If they can do it, I can too. I’m going to take the next step.”
4. To provide participants with resources and support to make it happen.
5. To increase the amount of high quality / hero tourism businesses and experiences in the Riverina Murray region.
