Redlands Tourism E-Newsletter


NEW COMMITTEE - NEW PREMISES - NEW STAFF

We now have a new administration office located at Toondah Harbour, Cleveland.  After a period of working out of the R.E.P.S. office in Cleveland we have now secured a new office to conduct our operation from.  Members and the general public are welcome to pop in and say hi.  Although this is not a visitor information centre, we do encourage members to leave their brochures with us, as it will be another avenue to promote your business with the traffic flow of patrons using the ferry services. 

We also welcome back to Redlands Tourism, Julianne Manwaring, who returns in an administrative capacity to assist the organisation moving forward.  Julianne brings a wealth of experience following roles with the Redlands on Moreton Bay Visitor Centre and QIC at Logan Hyperdome.

WHAT'S ON STRADDIE

WHAT'S ON STRADDIE

The Autumn/Winter 09 Edition of What's on Straddie has just been produced and we will be distributing copies to all members over the next week or so.  This is a full colour 6 page DL brochure which will be distributed via the Redlands on Moreton Bay Visitor Centre, members and other Visitor Centres / agencies within the distribution radius of the North Stradbroke Island Tourist Guides.

We are also now calling for Mainland and Southern Bay Islands including Coochiemudlo Island members to take an advertisement in the next edition of the 2009 seasonal brochure which will be a similar format to the North Stradbroke Island brochure.  We are looking for at least 12 advertisers and should you wish to participate please contact our office on Ph (07) 3286 7815 or Brenda Papworth on (07) 3415 3044.  At $50 per advertisement this represents a nominal cost offered only to Redlands Tourism members.  Why not take advantage to promote a special offer or a discount rate for your product/service in order to value add the publication, and to secure additional business for yourselves.

All financial members will receive a free listing detailing your name and phone number in your specific category i.e. Where to Stay, Where to Eat etc.
