Destination Goulburn Valley summit a success
LAST month, key speakers, professionals and business owners joined Destination Goulburn Valley (DGV) for its milestone event, ‘Building Momentum for our Future – Visitor Economy Summit’.
The summit was a day of learning and an opportunity to connect with businesses and other bodies that will support the region to thrive now and into the future.
Simon Keustenmacher, co-founder of The Demographics Group, shared insights into demographics and opportunities to harness new groups by investing in housing, local jobs, and education.
Guests also heard about challenges and lessons learned from Megan Williams, co-founder of Camel Milk Co, and a range of tourism bodies and supports including Alysia Brandenburg (Tourism and Experience Economy), Kristy Malapa (Tourism Australia), Grace Maynard (Austrade), Chantelle Khan (Victorian Tourism Industry Council), Charles Deuchrass (Visit Victoria), and Vickie Scott (DGV executive officer).
The event was MC’d by national award-winning journalist Karen O’Sullivan and provided time to network and share ideas, inspiring collaboration between local groups.
