Werribee’s a top tourism town

Werribee is one of seven towns vying for the title of Victoria’s top tourism town.

The Victorian Top Tourism Town Awards, which are hosted by the Victorian Tourism Industry Council (VITC), showcase the towns and centres offering exceptional and unique visitor experiences across Victoria.

Werribee, Ballarat, Bendigo, Echuca, Mildura, Shepparton and Warrnambool have been named as finalists in the Top Tourism Town Award.

The public can vote on which of the finalists is their favourite tourism destination until June 24.

The winner will be announced at a special event on July 25 in Lancefield, with the Victorian winner to go on to compete at for the title of Australia’s top tourism town in Canberra on September 10.

VTIC chief executive Felicia Mariani said the awards are an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the most captivating destinations the state has to offer.

“As Victorians continue their love affair with their own backyard, it’s wonderful that these awards allow us to profile the amazing destinations and experiences that are on offer across every corner of our beautiful state,” he said.

“The awards showcase the value of tourism to our towns and communities and celebrate the diversity of our regional destinations. We are thrilled to have the ongoing support of the TAC in recognising the towns that are going above and beyond to create a great experience for travellers who use our roads to experience all that Victoria offers.”
