Corryong Hosts Annual High-Country Visitor Information Centre Summit

Over 60 Visitor Information Centre staff and volunteers from across the region were welcomed to Corryong on Tuesday 11 October for the annual High Country Visitor Information Centre Summit.

Our visitors participated in familiarisation tours running across the Upper Murray followed by lunch with guest speakers Chris Mirams, Ian Cesa and David Paine.

The unique offerings of our magnificent Towong Shire were on full display with over 25 businesses and community organisations promoting their goods and services throughout the day.

Towong Shire Council Mayor Andrew Whitehead said that the Summit was the perfect opportunity to showcase our region and encouraged attendees to spread the word about the Upper Murray being an outstanding tourist destination.

“Bringing together Visitor Information Centre staff and volunteers at the Summit was a great opportunity to share insights into the recovery of the tourism sector post-Covid,” he said.

“It also provides us with a great opportunity to showcase Towong Shire and all we have to offer.

“We thank all the businesses who were a part of making this event such a success!”

Attendees left with plenty of reasons to return to Towong Shire, including some incentivised vouchers provided by several local businesses.

The 2022 Summit was the first time the event had been held in three years due to the pandemic.
