The Whitsundays was well represented at the annual Queensland Information Centre’s Association (QICA) conference in Agnes Water and 1770 last week.
Three team members from the Bowen Visitor Information Centre and one from the Whitsundays Visitor Information Centre at Proserpine attended the conference.
Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said this was a great chance to showcase our region and exchange ideas.
“It was great learning experience as we were able to network with other staff and volunteers from Visitor Information Centres across the entire state.
“From Longreach to Injune, north to Babinda and south to Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, they are a great bunch of people all passionate about their own regions,” she said.
“By being able to network like this, we all came home with ideas about how to improve the visitor servicing in our own region.”
There are about 100 accredited Visitor Information Centres in Queensland, and the annual conference is held in a different location each year.
Kingaroy will host the conference next year.
The speakers at this year’s conference included tourism operators, representatives from other Regional Tourism Organisations and Tourism and Events Queensland.
Bowen hosted the annual conference in 2019.
