Victoria is set to elevate its tourism landscape with the announcement of 29 new regional projects that will receive significant funding through the Enabling Tourism Fund 2024. These initiatives, which aim to bolster the state̢۪s tourism industry and attract more visitors to regional areas, were unveiled by the Minister for Tourism, Sport, and Major Events, Steve Dimopoulos, during a visit to the Art Gallery of Ballarat. This effort is part of the Allan Labor Government̢۪s broader strategy to drive economic growth, create local jobs, and enhance Victoria̢۪s already impressive array of tourist attractions.
In addition to job creation, these projects will help support local businesses, from cafes and restaurants to accommodation providers and tour operators. As these new attractions come online, they will draw more visitors to the region, boosting demand for local goods and services and providing a much-needed economic boost to regional economies still recovering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2025 Jubilee will bring tourists to the Vatican, Rome and Italy to celebrate the Catholic tradition of patrons asking for forgiveness of sins. Hope will be a central theme.
