Event Details Tourism, or the Visitor Economy, is an important part of our region's economy, providing employment and income to many businesses. Estimates suggest more than 216,000 visitors came to the Goondiwindi Region in 2018-19, providing around $66.8 million to the local economy.
Businesses, community groups and the Goondiwindi Regional Council are all playing their part in promoting and attracting visitors to our region, encouraging them to stay awhile and enjoy "Regional Australia At Its Best".
Our guest speakers - Liesl Richards, Tracey Jensen and Ben Harrison - will share with you their business, community group and local government experience and knowledge in this sector.
