Orange City Council is holding the workshops to identify future tourism opportunities for the region.
The two independently-facilitated workshops will be held on August 4 and 6 to bring together representatives from organisations that influence and impact tourism in Orange.
Council’s employment and economic development committee chair Jeff Whitton said he wants a broad range of local businesses to attend.
“The food and wine producers of Orange have built a solid a reputation which attracts thousands of visitors, and now it’s time to build on those foundations," Cr Whitton said.
“We need to make sure the wine and food area continues to prosper and then ask where else we can grow the tourism sector.
“It’s important that the views of all local business are heard when we look at the future direction of tourism strategies.”
Around 470 local business and stakeholders are being invited to attend.
“The communities, businesses and tourism operators of Orange, Blayney and Cabonne all play a significant role when visitors come to the region,” Cr Whitton said.
"It’s important that there’s input from all areas."
