As part of the Tasmanian Young Tourism Network, supported by Pennicott Wilderness Journeys and the TICT, Tasmania's young and/or emerging leaders are being given the chance to attend an educational tour through some of Victoria's most successful tourism regions.

If selected, you will travel through the regions of Geelong, Mornington and Bellarine to experience unique and authentic products and experiences, learn first-hand from their operators about what makes them a success, and learn about the state's broader vision for tourism.

Across three days and four nights in April 2025 you will;

• Travel through the regions of Geelong, Bellarine and Mornington, to experience products, attractions and experiences and have face to face interactions and learning opportunities with emerging and seasoned tourism operators.
• Meet with the Victorian Tourism Industry Council and learn how the regions form part of the state's tourism strategy.
• Network and travel with other young and/or emerging leaders within Tasmania's tourism industry.
• Compile your learnings and common themes to bring back to Tasmania to share with your employer/business and present them to Tasmania's tourism leaders for further development.

• Have support from your employer to have an absence from your workplace for four days, three nights in the month of April 2025; and
• Be willing and able to take learnings from the tour and present those learnings back via a number of channels within Tasmania, including to your own workplace.
