In this episode of The Local Palate, Cam O’Keefe is joined by Tracy Carter, Executive Director of Tourism Greater Geelong and The Bellarine.

From pandemic recovery to mentoring programs, new events and the game-changing Convention Centre on the horizon, Tracy shares how she and her team are helping local venues not just survive but thrive. She reflects on what’s changed for the region, the importance of partnerships, and why a stronger midweek economy could be the key to long-term growth.

It’s an inside look at tourism as place-making, and the quiet, consistent work that powers a whole community.
