According to figures released by the state government’s Tourism, Events and Visitor Economy unit, total tourism expenditure in Victoria was $31.5 billion in the year ending December 2022, an increase of 113 percent compared to the year ending December 2021. Overall total tourism spend was back to 97 percent of the pre-pandemic level.
The Central Goldfields Shire Council recognises tourism and the ‘visitor economy’ as one of the four key industries driving the shires economic development.
The region has experienced a marked increase in tourism in the past few years and Goldfields Getaway is proud to be the only publication that highlights all that our shire and the surrounding area has to offer.
Although produced with the visitor in mind, it is a great resource for locals to discover (or re-discover) the exciting attractions in their own backyard. Pick up your free copy at cafes, clubs and tourism venues throughout town.
