The Bendigo Tourism Board of Management, an Advisory Board to the City of Greater Bendigo Council represents both the interests of the industry and the community. The Board currently has 4 industry elected members and 5 appointed by Council, one being a Councillor.
The role of this Board is to set the strategic direction for the growth of tourism across Greater Bendigo and the Destination Plan 2007 -12 sets out the priorities for the next 5 years. The Destination Plan outlines 8 key areas for strategy development. These strategies form the strategic plan for Bendigo and will ensure that the Board is constantly reviewing and updating the priorities of the destination.
These 8 identified issues came to fruition through an industry planning day where the Bendigo Tourism Board, Tourism Victoria and Council staff met to discuss the way forward. Subsequently two industry sessions were held to work through the major issues and for industry comment. These processes will continue over the life of the plan.
