    ASSOCIATION OF TOURIST RAILWAYS INC. Registered No. A0022112C Preserving Heritage Railways and Tramways in Victoria Registered Address: 18 Coreen Avenue, Beaumaris, 3193 Email: [email protected] 15th August 2013 Executive Officer Environment and Natural Resources Committee Parliament House Spring Street East Melbourne Vic 3022 Dear Dr Gardiner, RE: INQUIRY INTO HERITAGE TOURISM AND ECOTOURISM I am writing in response to your invitation to make a submission to the above inquiry on behalf of the Tourist Railways and Tramways in Victoria. The Association of Tourist Railways Inc. is the peak body representing the majority of these volunteer groups established to preserve the history and culture of railway and tramway operations for Victoria’s future generations. We rely heavily on tourists not railway enthusiasts to patronise our undertakings and call on volunteers throughout the community, many of whom become volunteers as a community activity rather than they have an overwhelming interest in old trams or trains. Whilst there is significant recognition of Puffing Billy as one of Victoria’s key tourism products, most of the other groups are not well known, yet they all play a significant part in preserving Victoria’s transport heritage. To provide some insight into the extent of these activities, the 17 groups excluding Puffing Billy carried 600,000 passengers, employed 42 equivalent full time employees, generated $16.2m direct revenue and are actively supported by 3000 Victorians who volunteer their time. If Puffing Billy is also included, a further 50 employees, $2m revenue, 240,000 passenger journeys and 1000 volunteers can be added. Very little is known about the overall economic benefit to the local communities that support these groups.
