“I applied to be a participant in the Melbourne Tourism Industry Leadership Program to network with likeminded advocates of Melbourne tourism, to learn from some of the best in the business and to stamp Queen Victoria Market as not only a retail centre but also a major tourism icon for Melbourne. I finished the program gaining all of this and so much more. The friendships I have made and the things I have learned during the program I will take with me well into the future. Congratulations on a fantastic initiative and I look forward to watching it grow in its success for years to come.”
