Our Visitor Information Centre team recently joined in a highly anticipated familiarisation tour, where we visited the Fraser Coast Regional Council's new Community Hub. This included a look at the impressive new library facilities available to residents and visitors alike.

After enjoying a morning tea, our team also visited the fantastic new hostel presented by Hervey's at Hervey Bay. We learned about the various styles of accommodation and services they offer. Tours like these allow our team to stay current with product knowledge and strengthen our relationships with our centre partners.
