Last week, Tourism Noosa hosted a breakfast for the Hastings Street Visitor Information Centre team of volunteers to connect and be inspired with a general update on Tourism Noosa and the benefits of membership.
Tourism Noosa membership nanager Cathy Mitchell said the breakfast was a great opportunity to connect with our valued volunteers.
“It was lovely to spend time with the volunteers and to inform them on just how broad Tourism Noosa’s reach is in member support from marketing, media opportunities, to training and more,“ she said.
“It is important that our volunteers are well informed on the importance and the benefits of what a membership with Tourism Noosa entails.“
The breakfast also featured an update on the Welcome to Country visual experience which is exhibited nightly at 7pm at the Visitor Information Centre as well as an opportunity for a new volunteer group photo.
Each volunteer was presented with a Pottery for the Planet exclusive Noosa environmental keep cup as part of a partnership with Tourism Noosa which will help save 13,486 single-use coffee cups from landfill if every volunteer and Tourism Noosa staff member on shift had one coffee per day per year.
“After so much uncertainty in the current world, it was nice to implement something concrete and positive out to volunteers and the response to the breakfast and the presentations has all been very positive with volunteers stating that they were all enjoyable and informative,” Ms Mitchell said.
Christine Casken, one of the volunteers said, “Merci beaucoup for inviting us to the winter breakfast, it was very enjoyable, and the presentations were interesting. My very favourite part was the gift of the coffee mug, it’s beautiful.”
Wendy Cutting, one of the volunteers commented, “What a great morning we had. Thank you all for a very enjoyable morning – generous breakfast, good company, and fun in the park for the group photo.“
“Well worth the wait. Volunteers now have a much better understanding of what a Tourism Noosa membership involves and how they can make known and support the wide variety of products and services offered by members.“
