Well done to all operators who represented Victoria at the awards.
It is businesses like these that are helping our State's visitor economy go from strength to strength, with visitor expenditure reaching a record $36.9 billion for the year ending September 2023 – and Tourism Research Australia forecasting a further $16 billion in capacity for growth by 2028.
Visit Victoria is privileged in our role to keep building and driving demand in Melbourne and regional Victoria through our new global tourism campaign, Every bit different, and blockbuster major, business and regional events calendars.
