Melbourne Official Visitor Map Media Kit 2016/17 MELBOURNE OFFICIAL VISITOR MAP MEDIA KIT 1
Overview Navigating Melbourne s visitor experiences The Melbourne Official Visitor Map provides visitors with a comprehensive overview of how to get around Melbourne. The map covers inner Melbourne and the immediate surrounds, and features key attractions within the CBD and city fringe. It is endorsed by Visit Victoria, City of Melbourne, Public Transport Victoria and the IMAP Group as the only Official Visitor Map to Melbourne, with unparalleled distribution at all key points of arrival throughout Melbourne. In January 2014, Destination Melbourne in conjunction with the IMAP Group conducted an extensive piece of Visitor Research on both the Melbourne Official Visitor Map and the Inner Melbourne Map. Based on the results of this Visitor Research, the IMAP Group partnered with Destination Melbourne to produce one Visitor Map for Melbourne. As a result, production of the IMAP Inner Melbourne Map ceased and the Melbourne Official Visitor Map is now the key visitor tool, with a total of 1 million maps distributed each year at all key points of arrival throughout Melbourne. KEY FEATURES + + Detailed maps including Melbourne City Centre and IMAP (Inner Melbourne) + + Information on how to get around Melbourne using public transport + + Information on Melbourne s attractions and visitor experiences Melbourne Official Visitor Guide is supported and endorsed by the following organisations: MELBOURNE OFFICIAL VISITOR MAP MEDIA KIT 2
