Become a Member

Thank you for considering membership of the Margaret River Busselton Tourism Association (MRBTA). We are a self-funded, not-for-profit association with over 50 years’ experience in supporting the Margaret River Region – from Busselton to Augusta – to thrive through tourism.

We pride ourselves on offering excellent value for money to members of the Association. For every $1 generated through membership fees, we invest a further $5 in activity to support your business and the wider region – that’s a total of $2.4million spent each year on marketing, visitor servicing and on developing regional tourism products and experiences.

MRBTA’s consumer-facing channels are established as the number one authority for travel advice and inspiration on the region. Our team of locally-based marketing and visitor servicing experts create over 2 million touchpoints with visitors per year via our destination website at margaretriver.com, social media, the Busselton and Margaret River Visitor Centres and Central Reservations team. Your MRBTA membership is your opportunity to connect with visitors through these channels.

As an MRBTA member you also support the custodianship of the Margaret River Region destination brand, which determines how the region is marketed on the world stage.
