RESOLUTION That the RTA Financial Report for December 2019 – January 2020 be accepted as a true and accurate report. Moved Tory Young Seconded Peter Smith CARRIED 6 REPORTS 6.1 Presidents Report Through December and January I have been having weekly catch-up calls with the EO to discuss RTA business. A suggestion is that the new RTA Visitor Numbers Collection Sheet should also include a ‘Visitor Destination’ column, to track where visitors are travelling to. Discussion with the committee today, the Shire member contributions A recent trip highlighted that Roe Tourism region is not only on the pathway to Wave Rock but also captures a lot of traffic travelling through Lake Grace heading to Esperance, which is AGO’s ‘jewel’ road trip destination and something we should build on. Thank you to Jill Hayes from Quairading for being proactive and bringing new ideas to discuss with the committee at today’s meeting. Perth Caravan & Camping Show 2020 is coming up 18-22 March. I will be attending to assist on the wheatbelt stand with Robyn McCarthy (CWVC). Jill Hayes has also volunteered to assist and NEWTravel members will also volunteer throughout show week. I called Sheenagh Collins at Wave Rock to find out the impact the Coronavirus has had on visitor numbers and WR businesses. Sheenagh advised 2 x tourist buses per week with Chinese visitors had been cancelled and numbers were way down. The recent fires had meant firefighting volunteers were being accommodated in Hyden and Wave Rock. Sheenagh recommended marketing should try to encourage visitation to the wheatbelt region and support the Tourism Australia message, Holiday Here This Year. 6.2 EO Report Social Media – Facebook Facebook page posts are scheduled to feature member Shires accommodation facilities, local attractions and to promote RTA Associate Member businesses.
