About the organisation
The Victoria Tourism Industry Council (VTIC) is the independent, member-based peak body for Victoria’s tourism and events industry. VTIC provides leadership for the sector through unified advocacy, industry development programs, business and professional development services and networking opportunities. With over 1,000 members across the state, VTIC plays a critical role in shaping the future of Victoria’s visitor economy.

Empowering and engaging the workforce will be critical to underpin the future vision and direction of VTIC. One of the primary objectives will be to engage key stakeholders and partners within the sector and within government to build trust, credibility, and support to continue to position and highlight the value of the tourism industry, to maximise opportunities and outcomes for the sector.
