Terrific to have our CEO, Olivia Barrie representing the Mornington Peninsula at the Wine Communicators of Australia Inc 2024 Wine Growth Summit in Adelaide on Wednesday, alongside regional leaders - Barossa Australia's Ben Patten and McLaren Vale Grape, Wine & Tourism Association's CEO, Erin Leggat with wine tourism legend, Robin Shaw leading the topic. A few Destination Marketing take aways: - Know your customer, don't try to please everyone and remain true to the region's brand and value proposition. - Visitors choose just 2-3 wineries to visit in a day (used to be 5!), one being a lunch destination. You want to be on their list. Develop relevant, engaging and memorable experiences linked to a well presented brand. - Collaborate with like minded businesses for a powerful, saleable offer which encourages over night stays. - Regional tourism websites are a visitor's first port of call, make sure your presence and offer are current, prominent and high quality. #regionaltourism #wineindustryleaders #collaboration #strongertogether

The global surge in #wine tourism has led to a fascinating paradox: activities considered wine tourism in one country might be forbidden in another!? This makes comparing wine tourism across borders and wine regions a complex challenge. While social media overflows with posts about wine and tourism, I believe there's a pressing need for clarification. From spa treatments overlooking vineyards to gourmet restaurants among the vines, the boundaries are increasingly blurred. How do we define authentic wine tourism experiences in this evolving industry? Explore these questions and more in a recent chapter I co-authored with colleagues Assoc. Prof. Katia Laura Sidali and Claudia Bazzani from University of Verona, in collaboration with the Great Wine Capitals. 'Towards a Clarification of the Definition of Wine Tourism', appears in the latest edition of 'Strategic Management in the Wine Tourism Industry', edited by Javier Martínez Falcó BARTOLOME MARCO LAJARA Eduardo Sánchez García at Palgrave Macmillan. #WineTourism #Viticulture #TravelIndustry #Tourism"

Ensuring Global Beverage Quality with Innovative "Bag In Keg" Technology | Delivering "Tank Fresh" Draft Pours for Ultimate Customer Satisfaction
8moSome very good advice which is spot on, and all make logical sense. Know your customer and THEIR wants is always top priority. Not your wants, but theirs! We host many visitors when they come to visit us in Adelaide. Fully agree that 3 wineries is our max in a day/weekend even. And yes, one is always a lunch destination. How do we decide? Friends recommendations, website searches. local guides, google business reviews, facebook groups/ pages. Real reviews by real people. If you don't have them, then work hard to get some, in all the places mentioned.
