Find out what’s the benefits of being a member and how we can help your business.
We at VTIC are always happy on Friday’s but some news from one of our foundation members has made this particular eNews day even happier! Late last year we put pen to paper on a new relationship with ADROIT Insurance Group. We were encouraged by their passion for tourism and events, and their understanding of what businesses small or large actually need. But what sealed the deal was the willingness to go the extra mile for every ADROIT potential client, and the personal attention afforded to each and every prospect – that’s right they actually come and meet you!
Today we have been informed that the aforementioned member has been quoted a rate for their Public Liability policy that is 20% less than their existing policy. Suffice to say they are in the process of signing the contract.
I will keep the member name confidential but most of you in the Victorian Tourism and Events industry would definitely know of them. This is not a soft sell for ADROIT either, don’t get me wrong. The reason I mention this is purely because (as you can see from my title) relationships matter, and I get immense satisfaction from hearing that two organisations that we are intrinsically linked with are benefiting from having met each other via VTIC. We try every day to add value for our members and when connections like this eventuate, it makes all the work worthwhile.
Have a cracking day in Tourism.
