It was slated to take place in the City of Ballarat, Victoria in October 2020, but COVID has changed those plans, bringing the 2020 Australian Regional Tourism (ART) Convention to an online format from 17-29 October 2020.
With the theme ‘Building resilient and adaptive communities that thrive’, the ART and the City of Ballarat continue to work in partnership to ensure the 2020 Convention delivers relevant and meaningful content for delegates, whilst also giving them a sneak preview for what lies ahead for the 2021 Convention which will be held in Ballarat.
The ART Convention is a must-attend event for local councils, regional tourism organisations, tourism professionals and businesses, and government personnel wanting to contribute to the future of regional tourism in Australia.
Topics for the online Convention include visitor servicing, tourism recovery, data and trends, crisis management, social license, tourism and protected areas plus much more.
Regarded as the most significant annual event for anyone engaged in regional tourism, the convention provides delegates the opportunity to connect, share ideas and engage in robust discussions around opportunities and challenges being faced by the industry.
“We look forward to bringing the ART Convention into the online space this year and providing an opportunity for more people to learn from our organisation, whilst also hearing from some engaging presenters, relevant case studies and having access to useful resources,” said Coralie Bell, ART Chair.
Earlybird registrations are now open HERE.
