$1 MILLION TOURISM BOOST

Mildura  in  North  West Victoria hosted the Ulysses Club AGM in 2012.
Ulysses  is  a  club  for motorcycle & scooter riders over 40 years of

age.  The  event attracted over 4000 Ulyssians from all over Australia

and contributed over $1 million to the local economy.


Tourism  Victoria  is  working  on a motorcycle & scooter tourism plan
similar  to  its'  bicycle  plan.  The  bicycle plan says that bicycle
tourers  contribute  over  $360  million to the Victorian economy each
year. Informal surveys by the Independent Riders' Group indicates that
motorcycle & scooter riders contribute more than double that amount.
