Toowoomba Regional Council will be hosting a tourism forum on May 29 to exchange ideas and suggest a way forward for the local industry.<\/p>\n

Council’s Tourism and Events portfolio leader Cr Geoff McDonald said the forum would include invited representatives from key tourism stakeholder groups and regional towns.<\/p>\n

“I am excited about this opportunity to hear from tourism operators within the Toowoomba region,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Council strongly supports tourism as an economic driver and wants to hear from its stakeholders and partners about what it could be doing to further develop and promote the industry.”<\/p>\n

Forum participants will focus on three key themes: marketing and partnerships, events and attractions, and tourism development.<\/p>\n

Cr McDonald said Council was working with Southern Queensland Country Tourism to double visitor expenditure between 2010-2020 in line with targets set by both the Federal and State governments.<\/p>\n

“Participants will be asked to undertake some preparation work prior to the Forum, focusing on the role of Council in developing and marketing tourism opportunities for our region,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Feedback from the Tourism Forum will be assessed when developing Council’s Tourism Strategy.”<\/p>\n

The forum will be held at Toowoomba’s Empire Theatre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
