Bendigo Tourism Media Program

Bendigo stories are consistently pitched by the Tourism and Major Events Team to Australian and International journalists and digital influencers throughout the year that highlight special events, major events, new and unique experiences, local characters and award winners. We work closely with Visit Victoria, Tourism Australia, Qantas, Bendigo Art Gallery, Regional Councils and many other organisations to host journalists in Bendigo and develop tailored itineraries based on their interests. Are you doing something new with your business? Let us know for consideration with inclusion our media pitching program. We have also been supporting Bendigo Tourism members who have secured their own media and are wanting to work with us on itineraries while the journalist visits Bendigo.

Below is summary of publicity that has been secured over the past 18 months, worth tens of thousands of dollars in exposure value. Click on the titles below to see the articles.
