Interest sought for tourism committee

Council will invite expressions of interest from members of the community to participate in a Tourism Advisory Committee for the Central Coast.

The Advisory Committee is responsible for providing advice and feedback to Council on the coast's destination planning and improving collaboration with tourism funding bodies, including Destination New South Wales.

"Tourism is a significant industry on the Central Coast and Council is committed to working with businesses on the coast to ensure we are promoting and supporting sustainable tourism," said mayor Cr Jane Smith.

"Combined with Council's increased investment in tourism marketing and industry services, a new destination management plan and the advent of a new marketing approach to implement it - we are working towards increasing positive perception of the Central Coast and delivering more for the region."

Council will seek representation from small to medium sized business enterprises and large businesses, plus skilled marketers and business development experts. Central Coast Tourism and The Affinity Partnership, Council's marketing and industry services provider will also be represented.
