How Murray Regional Tourism supports industry during bushfire events
Murray Regional Tourism leads regional tourism crisis preparedness, communications and coordination activities in partnership with emergency services agencies and local government.
Depending on the scale of the event, MRT may activate additional arrangements, including establishing and supporting a Tourism Crisis Management Group (TCMG) to assist with response and short-term recovery.
MRT also works closely with:
- The Victorian Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions
- Destination NSW
- Local Government partners
- Emergency services agencies
If your business is impacted (when safe to do so)
When conditions allow, MRT encourages impacted tourism businesses to share a quick status update so we can support coordinated tourism messaging and industry recovery.
You may wish to share:
- your business name and location
- current operating status (open, closed, limited services)
- cancellations or major disruptions
- visitor access issues (road closures, smoke impacts, interruptions)
