Regional Development and Marketing Officer

Alex is the newest staff member of the Totally South Tourism Team. She has recently returned home to Tasmania after a 6 year stint in Western Australia. While in WA she spent almost five years with the Regional Tourism Organisation, Australia's South West. It was here she developed her passion for marketing and the tourism industry.

During her time at Australia's South West, Alex coordinated the seasonal campaigns, helped produce the annual Holiday Planners, promoted the region at interstate and international trade and consumer events and coordinated and hosted famils.

Alex's duties at Totally South Tourism involve being the first point of contact for tourism industry operatives seeking assistance or advice on a range of tourism issues. She will also be looking after the marketing side of the association.

In her spare time, Alex enjoys travelling, going to the beach and spending time with her friends, family and dog.
