Central Coast tourism operators will be interested in webinars to be delivered by Destination NSW this month to showcase opportunities for visitor economy businesses to target specific visitor groups.
The first webinar will be on Selling Stays and Experiences to LGBTQIA+ Visitors.
Destination NSW and Husbands That Travel will share key insights for LGBTQIA+ visitors and how to create inclusive and welcoming experiences.
This webinar series will take place over two sessions and provide practical tips for accommodation, visitor attractions and tour providers to understand the needs of visitors from the LGBTQIA+ community and deliver an inclusive and welcoming experience.
The first session, from 10am to 11am on Tuesday, May 16, will be on understanding the experiences and needs.
The second will be from 10am to 11am on Thursday, May 18, on creating inclusive experiences.
The next webinar, from 10am to 11am on Wednesday, May 24, will focus on Creating EV-friendly Road Trip Experiences.
A guest presenter from the Office of Energy and Climate Change (OECC) will highlight how to attract EV drivers to destinations and businesses.
It will include: opportunities for visitor economy businesses to become more EV-friendly and attract EV road trippers; information about installing EV chargers, and how to participate in round two of the NSW Government EV Destination Charging Grants program; and tips for promoting EV charging facilities to visitors.
