Tourism Victoria's Regional Marketing unit works closely with the 10 regional campaign committees, the Board for Alpine Resorts Tourism, and Strategic Alliances (Sydney Melbourne Touring and Great Southern Touring Route and the Melbourne and Surrounds Strategic Marketing Alliance), to develop marketing campaigns and boost visitor numbers to regional Victoria.

Victoria has 10 regional marketing areas with a campaign committee representing each one. Each committee comprises a cross section of industry representatives, including local government, regional tourism associations and tourism operators.

The Regional Marketing unit works closely with the regional campaign committees in the rollout of brand campaigns, strategic marketing plans and the facilitation of the Regional Marketing Program.

The unit is broken up into two main streams – Melbourne Surrounds and Touring.

Melbourne Surrounds takes in the following regions:

• Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges

Touring takes in the following regions:

The Regional Marketing team provide advice and expertise to each of the campaign committees for the development and implementation of branding campaigns and strategic marketing plans.
