LAPPING UP
LEISUREFEST!
THE 2017 MELBOURNE LEISUREFEST ATTRACTED 32,306
VISITORS ACROSS THE FOUR DAYS OF THE SHOW, THE
HIGHEST ATTENDANCE NUMBER IN SEVEN YEARS.
Celebrity speakers Dr Katrina
Warren and Merv Hughes
were crowd favourites, as was
the 4WD track where thrill
seekers had the opportunity
to be taken by a professional
driver over a 4WD circuit.
And what would Melbourne
Leisurefest be without
demonstrations of Al-Ko’s
electronic stability control?

“The stable of exhibitors
continues to improve and
become more diverse every
show,” Caravan Industry
Association of Victoria CEO
Rob Lucas said. “This year
in particular we noticed and
appreciated the extra effort
they went to in order to give
our visitors the best possible
day out.
“With 70 per cent of caravanners
and campers travelling with their
pets these days and based on
consumer feedback, we allowed
dogs to attend the show this
year. Feedback has indicated
that this was an overwhelming
success and enticed some
outdoor adventurers to attend
Melbourne Leisurefest who
would not normally attend.”
