THREDBO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Thredbo Chamber of Commerce ( Tourism Thredbo ) was established in 1963 as a community-based organisation focused on the development of year round economic sustainability in Thredbo village. Under the banner of Tourism Thredbo, the chamber has developed a strong calendar of summer events and festivals during the period October to May while at the same time accumulating 16 years experience in the field of Special Event Management.

Thredbo is the perfect venue for a diverse range of events and festivals from weddings to music festivals, triathlons and mountain bike events to car and motorcycle rallies. With its extensive experience in event management Tourism Thredbo hopes that Event Organisers will make Thredbo a shell for their own event using the organisation as a local point of contact for event logistics.
