partnership opportunities and the future plans for the group. All operators from the region are invited to attend.

Latrobe City’s tourism co-ordinator, Linda Brock said that the next meeting would again be facilitated by Tom Smith.

"Other speakers will include Councillor Darrell White, Chair of the Latrobe Regional Advisory Board and Chris Buckingham, Manager, Gippsland Tourism," Ms Brock added.

"The network represents tourism in its many forms, not just catering for travellers on holiday, but also corporate tourism, conference tourism and visiting friends and relatives.
