WAGGA WAGGA: Creative Cultural Tourism
September 18 @ 9:00 am – 4:30 pm AEST
Facilitated by CREATIVE PLUS BUSINESS as part of of the Eastern Riverina Arts Creative Industries Bootcamp.
Regional creatives are sitting on a cultural tourism goldmine, but how do we unlock it? This workshop explores how artists, councils, and organisations can collaborate to create meaningful, market-ready experiences.
Designed for cultural organisations ready to move beyond the basics of cultural tourism and delve into advanced strategies for engagement, collaboration, and sustainable growth.
This full-day event combines in-depth discussions, hands-on activities, advanced resource sharing, and targeted networking opportunities. Participants will learn how to strategically leverage their unique attributes – including their people, history, traditions, arts, and culture – to create compelling, participatory experiences that resonate deeply with cultural tourists.
Come ready to workshop ideas, refine your offer, and shape the future of cultural tourism in our region.
