Visit Victoria, the primary tourism and events company for Victoria, profiles
experiences in nature as one of its core brand pillars for regional Victoria.
Such experiences are one of the most sought after for visitors to the State.
There are 12 Victorian wetland sites on the List of Wetlands of
International Importance
(commonly called the Ramsar Convention) which
are representative, rare or unique wetlands or are important for conserving
biological diversity.
These wetland sites are all directly and
indirectly promoted through Visit Victoria's marketing campaigns. For example,
the Gippsland Lakes are promoted as a destination to enjoy a range of
water-based activities.
More generally, wetland sites are promoted
as part of the Your Happy Space campaign which aims to attract Melbournians,
intrastate and international visitors to take a short break in regional
Victoria. |
