Braidwood & Villages Tourism invites you to join a vital organisation that has the power to improve the economic health of Braidwood and villages, and surrounding Shire.
Braidwood & Villages Tourism is a community based committee of Palerang Council, and while partly funded by Council is dependent on membership fees to fund a variety of projects.
* In 1978 a Visitor Information Centre (VIC) was established in the National Theatre and is staffed by trained volunteers. The VIC has computer, printer and Internet access. Braidwood's Visitor Centre is often the first point of contact for visitors and prospective visitors. Enquiries are received from all over the country as well as from overseas.
* The Vic was accredited as an Accredited Tourism Business in November 2005 and displays the ‘tick’ of the Tourism Industry Council.
* Over the last few years Braidwood and Villages have been advertised in a number of publications including "The Canberra Times", "Town & Country" Newspaper and "Capital Country" Maps.
* The glossy "Braidwood and Villages" brochure is regularly updated and distributed nationally and internationally. I is in full gloss colour and of souvenir quality. It also displays our Heritage walk, locates Braidwood in the region and gives a short description of our Villages. This important promotional tool is critical for the imaging of Braidwood for visitors and future residents and has been distributed from the Hunter Valley through to the Victorian border.
The advantages of being a member are:
* Full voting rights at monthly meetings
* Preferential advertising and promotion for your business in advertising programs
* Full listing in the Business and Accommodation Guide on the Tourism website, including images, description contact details and links to email/web site, and
