Melbourne Study Tour
from Hotel SA March 2024
by Boylen
The AHA|SA hosted thirty SA hoteliers and Corporate Partners on our inaugural Study Tour to Melbourne.The group visited a range of venues across Melbourne CBD, Fitzroy, Brunswick, Prahan and St Kilda. The venues showcased innovation, highlighting food, beverage, and design trends. The group was indulged in the venues' hospitality, with many taking the time to provide greater insights into their venue and operations. A great trip with a wonderful group of SA hoteliers! Watch this space for the next Study Tour.
The group then had the option of attending the Australian Guineas at Flemington as guests of Tabcorp. A brilliant end to the Melbourne experience. Big thanks to key partners TAB, The Lottery Corporation and Bepoz for hosting parts of the tour.











Great tour with plenty of inspirational ideas to follow, all had with a cold beer in hand. Each day was packed with exceptional F&B venues that are pushing the envelope when it comes to innovation and style. Some fantastic insights were given by the management and teams running each venue and hurdles they had to overcome. This experience was one my team and I thoroughly enjoyed and looking forward to the next study tour.
