The Universal Tourism Grant (UTG)

We’re making tourism experiences in Latrobe City some of the best, most accessible and inclusive in the country, and we have a funding program that could be available to you.

The Universal Tourism Grant (UTG) is open to Latrobe City small businesses and not-for-profit groups, so they can provide improved accessibility within the tourism sector.

There are lots of ways to make tourism open to everyone, what would make your tourism offering more inclusive?

Better seating with armrests and backrests? A wider doorway with an automatic, sensor opening? Signage with raised letters and Braille? Staff training and a Disability Action Plan? Better lighting or shade?

We’re excited about helping our region thrive in the tourism space and we believe you have great ideas to improve your offering.

Let’s make Latrobe City open for all.

The grant program has been developed by the Council and funded through the Victorian Government’s Council Support Package.
