Background:
Tourism Rockingham, a dedicated not-for-profit organisation, has been promoting the vibrant coastal community of Rockingham, Western Australia, for over 50 years. Driven by a passionate team of volunteers and staff at the Rockingham Visitor Centre, they strive to showcase the region’s diverse attractions, events, and tourism experiences.
Scott Aussie Tourism Marketing has enjoyed a close relationship with Tourism Rockingham since 2018, with our founder, Andy Burns, serving as a dedicated member of the board. This ongoing involvement reflects our deep commitment to supporting the organisation’s mission and contributing to the success of tourism in Rockingham.
