What makes Southland great?

Southland residents are being encouraged to have their say to help spread the message about what makes the region great.

A new survey initiated by Venture Southland, released yesterday, aims to help contribute to the ‘‘Southland Story’’ and provide a set of tools to help local businesses and organisations better market the area.

Venture Southland tourism and events manager Warrick Low said the idea was about allowing residents in the region to help have a voice in future marketing of the region.
