DMT operator survey

Daylesford Macedon Ranges tourism survey

Dear tourism partner,

We have developed a survey to get a better understanding of what you need from your Regional Tourism Board. We’d appreciate your response to this survey, which will only take five minutes to complete and will greatly help DMT as we consider future Tourism Board models that might arise as part of the state government’s Visitor Economy Recovery and Reform Plan. Closing date for responses is Friday July 16th.

All entries go in the draw for $250 credit towards any co-op marketing activity for existing DMT partners, or a free DMT Annual Partnership (value $179) if you are not currently a partner.

Cheers

Steve and the DMT Team
