With more than 900 delegates in attendance, a jam-packed two-day speaker program and a highly anticipated networking event, the Victorian Tourism Conference was a milestone moment for 2021.

Held at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) on 21 and 22 April, the conference was said to be the biggest conference to take place in Australia (and possibly the world) since COVID-19 began.

In an interview with Spice News, King said the conference was a huge achievement for the state and the industry.

“Victoria’s copped a bit of a battering, so this is a really positive sign and it will allow us to rebuild confidence,” he said.

“I really think there is a strong pent-up demand to get back into some sort of business rhythm.”
