Starting and maintaining a small business within the local tourism industry can be very difficult. The Gippsland Area Consultative Committee (GACC) and the Latrobe City Council have come together to provide a three-day workshop (running over three consecutive Tuesdays) specifically designed to aid small businesses involved in the tourism industry in and around Latrobe City.

The workshop addresses three main issues recurrent within local tourism businesses – how to identify your unique advantage in the industry and find new customers based on this advantage; practical new marketing ideas that may benefit your small business; and how to design a plan for the future.

The course begins on Tuesday the 14^th of May, 6pm – 9pm at the Latrobe City Function room in Traralgon. Those interested in taking part in the workshop may contact Alison Turner on 5175 0600, or via e-mail. Visit the GACC website for more information.
