The second Collinsville Tourism Advisory Group meeting took place at the Collinsville Community Association Centre on Tuesday this week.
The town is coming down off another busy caravanning season where travellers in caravans and RVs took advantage of the free 72 hour RV Park.
Representatives gathered from the Council run free 72 hour RV park and community centre for this month’s meeting, a bi-monthly event for businesses in Collinsville to meet with Tourism Whitsundays and discuss what activity is in place and what is coming for Collinsville.
Topics on the day included how to raise the profile of Collinsville and maximise tourism opportunities and events in the area.
“There is so much to see and do in Collinsville,” said Rick Hamilton, CEO of Tourism Whitsundays.
“The Coalface Experience, the Number One mine site, the historical society and multiple places to eat and relax – it is such a great location!”
With the caravanning season drawing to a close, Tourism Whitsundays are now focusing their marketing efforts to attracting people from the local and northern areas and planning for next year’s winter period.
“We are promoting Collinsville in print such as the local newspaper and magazine, digital in our visitor’s guide, in our Visitor Information Centre and also in national publications,” said Rick.
“Collinsville has a lot to offer, and we aim to raise awareness of each of these substantially as part of ongoing campaigns.”
The next Collinsville Tourism Advisory Group is due to take place in November and everyone is welcome to attend.
