LGSA Tourism Conference 2010

The Business of Tourism


Wednesday 10 to Friday 12 March 2010
Hosted by Cowra Shire Council

Don't miss NSW's only Local Government focussed tourism conference!
The Local Government Tourism Conference presents a platform for councillors and council staff to meet, listen to experts and peers, and find out how other councils are engaging and managing their tourism industry. Past conferences have been held in Kiama in 2009, the Northern Rivers in 2008, Griffith in 2007, Penrith in 2006 and Forbes 2005.

Why attend?

The annual Local Government tourism conference is the only conference that addresses issues pertinent to council staff and management:

  • learn from real Local Government case studies
  • network with other tourism, marketing and event professionals
  • meet and talk direct with staff from Tourism NSW and the directors of the Tourism Industry Council 
  • a diverse range of speakers
  • attend a site inspection relative to the program and workshop a real case study.

Who should attend?

Anyone working in Local Government whose role involves: economic development, tourism planning and operation, marketing management, special events, media, corporate services, town planning and cultural services, transport and utilities or education.

The Presidents and steering committee of the LGSA Tourism Conference feel that it is vital that senior management understand tourism and integrate it into their strategic planning, therefore sessions are geared at Mayors, Councillors and General Managers with an interest in developing tourism and creating successful strategies for revenue raising.
