Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria Annual Report 2018-19

The marketing and tourism teams attend the Tourism Exchange in Perth
New Tourism Experiences
A new partnership with The Shrine of
Remembrance was piloted in Spring and
Summer. The Precinct Pass includes a
tour of the Shrine, followed by a Garden
Explorer guided tour and Devonshire Tea
at The Terrace. Uptake has been steady
and has given both organisations the
opportunity to collaborate closely and
explore other opportunities to work
together.
Picnic packages with our on-site tenants
were popular with visitors. Picnics and
Tiffin Tin packages sold out for Father’s
Day, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
Due to the popular use of the deck chairs
provided, they will be available for hire via
our Visitor Centre and packaged with our
on-site tenants for special occasions and
milestone events.
