TOURISM to the Margaret River region is set to benefit with the recent launch of a new booking office at the Perth Busport, adjacent to the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre.
Located within the South West Coach Lines office at the Mounts Bay Perth Busport, Tourism Margaret River is just metres away from one of the main entrances to the busy Perth Convention Exhibition Centre. The award-winning Augusta Margaret River Tourism Association (AMRTA) is behind the initiative, which is designed to showcase the region and tap into the lucrative pre-and post-convention business tourism market.
The satellite centre will operate Monday to Friday from 10am- 6pm, with the flexibility to open on weekends, and during Convention Centre trade and consumer events.
The AMRTA will be the first visitor centre in the country to operate an office outside of its own region.
The office will also give visitors booking bus tickets via the South West Coach Lines office the opportunity to get more information on the region and book accommodation for their stay.
