January St Kilda Tourism Industry News

Happy New Year! With summer in full swing and many St Kilda events and festivities just around the corner, here at SKTE we couldn’t be more excited to kick off the new year!

December has been a month of transition and development here at St Kilda Tourism. Our newly appointed Marketing & Events Coordinator, Katie Tobias, is warming into the role we have settled into a brand new office at The George Hotel and St Kilda Tourism (SKTE) has been working closely with Fitzroy Street Business Association (FSBA) and Acland Street Village Business Association (ASVBA) in centalising and streamlining marketing strategy for Destination St Kilda. 

There are many exciting developments going on behind the scenes that you will notice over the coming months. We are currently in the process of consolidating the SKTE, FSBA and ASVBA websites and social platforms. Fitzroy Street Traders note: there will no longer be a FSBA e-newsletter. Your Street Coordinator Megan will provide Fitzroy Street specific information for you in the SKTE e-newsletter. 

We look forward to working with each of you throughout 2017 in marketing Destination St Kilda! 

Remember #visitstkilda and tag Visit St Kilda to ensure we can promote your business. See you in St Kilda!
