Welcome to Tourism Hub Podcast Episode 10! Thrilled to present the first interview part of the RACV Victoria Tourism Awards Winners Series brought to you by Victoria Tourism Industry Council (VTIC).
In November 2017, the Victorian Tourism Awards gala night at Crown Palladium celebrated 30 categories of winning tourism businesses in their respective categories! This was the second Victorian gala event I conducted live interviews after winners were announced.
As an extension to the mini-interviews with a selected few experience makers on the night of nights, I will bring the winner journeys in their business and career on the Tourism Hub Podcast to share their story with you.
Lakshmi Cashmore, Industry Training and Development Manager at Tourism Greater Geelong & The Bellarine was the winner of 2017 Tourism Education and Training category.
