Tourism Moree CEO Report July 2015

Written on the 25 June 2015 by Tammy Elbourne

WOW! The month of June seen a busy social calendar & it was absolutely fantastic! We have included some pictures from just a couple of these events, see the 'Out and About' section... Once again we must commend the wonderful efforts of so many local Community Members working hard to stage such wonderful events for our community...

Whilst the Talmoi Picnic Races were cancelled due to some much needed rain - it certainly didn't dampen the festivities at Garah with the 'Talmoi Yabby Races' and entertainment taking place at the Garah Pub! Also just a quick note that the Talmoi Picnic Races were unable to be rescheduled for 2015, however, the Committee are looking forward to seeing everyone in 2016!!

Website dashboard... We are extremely happy to report that our website has had almost 16, 000 Unique Visits in the past 3 months alone! That averages to be over 170 per day for the last 3 months with majority of it being direct traffic so people coming straight to our website! The key words being used by people when they are using search engines include Moree, Moree Hot Springs, Moree Tourism and Moree NSW. We'll keep you posted on these stats in following Newsletters...

Our Centre has also welcomed another fantastic new local product - Enchanted Scents... 100% soy candles, melts, wood wick candles and diffusers in an extensive range of fragrances. All products homemade in Croppa Creek NSW... It is so wonderful to have another local product to add to our collection here at the Moree Visitor Information Centre.

Tourism Moree have been providing a platform for local & regional produce for over 14 years for both suppliers with & without a shopfront!! We have found that it is a fantastic opportunity for us to draw in the visitor market by showcasing some of the wonderful produce available in our Shire & Region! This also allows us to catch people and drive them into our local businesses, visitors and Locals alike! Our team strive to be well educated on the products we have available, from the growing & harvesting process through to recipes & serving suggestions, which allows us to be able to offer a true 'Paddock to Plate' educational experience!  Daily our centre has a tasting table featuring a variety of the products available in our Centre - so if you'd like to pop down for a tasting and perhaps a produce talk we'd be more than happy to accommodate you!

Since the launch of our Moree Plains Promotional DVD there have been several successful relocations to the Moree Plains with the assistance of this key promotional & marketing tool including professional and qualified trades. We have also provided it to Doctor's and qualified alternative medicinal providers who were looking to relocate permanently to the Moree Plains! So for anyone who knows of someone that is considering the 'Tree Change' give us a call and we'll gladly provide you with the Moree Plains Promotional DVD...

We hope you enjoy the read... For more information on anything please do not hesitate to call in and see us, phone our friendly team on (02) 6757 3350 or drop us an email at info@moreetourism.com.au
