The Victorian Government announced $75,000 in tourism marketing funding for this year's Melbourne Festival.
Minister for Tourism and Major Events Louise Asher said the funding was provided through the Tourism Victoria Events Program following last year's record attendance at the Melbourne Festival.
"The Melbourne Festival successfully showcases Melbourne's broad arts and cultural tourism appeal. It also closely aligns with the Government's highly successful Play Melbourne tourism campaign which encourages people to awaken their curiosity and explore ever-changing Melbourne on a whim," Ms Asher said.
Member for Caulfield David Southwick said the Melbourne Festival was one of the country's flagship arts festivals, strengthening Melbourne's position as the cultural capital of Australia.
The 2012 Festival has also received more than $6.4 million in funding from Arts Victoria as part of a triennial agreement. The 2012 Melbourne International Festival will be held from 11 to 27 October at various venues throughout Melbourne. The program will be announced later this year.
