Welcome to Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine, located at 30 Gheringhap Street in Geelong, Australia. We are an establishment that serves as a local government office, point of interest, and travel agency. Our institution is dedicated to promoting tourism in the Greater Geelong and The Bellarine region.

We firmly believe that there are few places greater than Geelong and The Bellarine. This region is blessed with stunning saltwater surrounds and natural wonders. It is a place that embraces creativity, with a strong emphasis on local artisans and a vibrant food scene. Geelong and The Bellarine offer a sense of adventure, where weekends are a little longer and the flavors are a little fresher.

We understand that the best way forward is through collaboration. That's why we encourage our Team Tourism members to connect with each other to find new collaborations and suppliers. By staying informed with the latest news, blogs, and interesting stories about tourism in our region, members can learn and develop skills that will help grow their businesses and contribute to the overall success of our region.

At Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine, we provide insights, relevant data, and statistics from our latest plans and reports. We strive to protect the marine environment and everything within it through initiatives such as Sea All Dolphin Swims. Additionally, we support local businesses like Russell and Jan McGlashan's Wallington Estate, who have transitioned from abalone diving to becoming first-time vineyard owners.

If you're looking to expand your business to capture a segment of the booming cruise market, we have you covered. Our recent cruise industry workshop has compiled key takeaways from experts on how to work with shore agents and why you should consider packaging your product.

We have also been actively participating in trade shows, representing our region and connecting with buyers from both international and domestic markets. These trade shows provide valuable opportunities for businesses to showcase their offerings and forge new partnerships.

For us, it's not just about the business side of things. We recognize and respect the traditional owners of the land, the Wadawurrung people of the Kulin Nation, who have cared for this region for thousands of years. We are privileged to share the beauty and joy of these lands and waterways, and we strive to repay this privilege with respect for their country, elders, and people.

Tourism is a human industry, and it thrives when teams work together. That's why we encourage membership in our Team Tourism. By joining forces, we can ensure the flourishing of the region and the businesses within it.
