21. The Visit Albury Wodonga website displays tourism partner information sourced from the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW). To fully utilise the website features, tourism partners should list their tourism events or business on the ATDW. Any fees are additional to the Program and are payable to the State Tourism Organisation not Visit Albury Wodonga, where applicable. By not listing via the ATDW your business will not be represented on the state and regional tourism organisation websites such as visitvictoria.com, visitnsw.com and visitthemurray.com.au. This will eliminate your business from the opportunity to participate in regional campaigns.
