Bells Line of Road Aims to Shine as Premier Tourist Destination
The Bells Line of Road (BLOR) Business Council has embarked on an ambitious journey to elevate the renowned Bells Line of Road into a vibrant tourist hotspot with its pioneering inaugural tourism campaign, titled “Greater Bells Line of Road.”
Alongside, the BLOR Business Council’s online directory showcasing 125 local offerings, GreaterBellsLineofRoad.com.au, takes centre stage, positioning the region as a self-sustained destination catering to diverse interests – whether it’s a quick day trip from Sydney, a picturesque destination wedding, a rejuvenating weekend getaway, or a journey through the Blue Mountains.
The campaign aims to position Bells Line prominently on the tourist map competing with destinations like Byron Bay, the Southern Highlands and the Yarra Valley.
