The City of Coffs Harbour Council has endorsed seven local tourism representatives to join the Destination Coffs Coast Committee (DCCC).
The Council says the committee plays a vital role in shaping the strategic direction of tourism and the visitor economy on the Coffs Coast, providing advice, advocacy and leadership in close collaboration with the City.
“It champions stakeholder voices and leads a strong engagement program focused on sustainable industry growth, training and networking,” the Council said in a statement.
Following a thorough selection process – assessing leadership qualities, expertise in the tourism industry and representation of local business – the following members have been appointed from the local industry: Harry Barry, Tiga Cross, Lydia Crossingham, Michael Lockman, Gill Robson, Kamla Ruthnam and Glenn Storrie.
They will join Council representatives Councillor George Cecato and Councillor Cath Fowler, as well as representatives from the three Business Chambers, as part of the committee.
