What our Members have to say...

To us, the main benefit of SATIC membership is knowing there is a dedicated team of professional, knowledgeable people who can assist with any issue which may affect our tourism business. SATIC staff are objective, resourceful and able to represent our industry sector at a political level and across other industry bodies. As a small business this gives me confidence that our views are well represented at a level that can make a difference. - Sharyn Rogers, Seppeltsfield Vineyard Cottage

As the City of Adelaide continues to grow and evolve, so too has the ongoing need for Council to be across the latest tourism trends and opportunities. Being a member of SATIC enables Council to engage with industry partners, learn for our peers and collaborate with key tourism stakeholders. It also provides us with access to useful information and research which helps inform our strategic planning and day-to-day operations, and identify opportunities to support and assist the industry in the future. - Noami Marsh, Adelaide City Council

We see SATIC as an important part of the tourism industry supplying the grass roots help for small tourism businesses such as ourselves. It supplies valuable opportunities to participate in conferences and professional development which would be out of (our) reach. We have used the submission process as a means of evaluating and growing our business. - Cathy Edmonds, The Frames
