Where can I find out more about Tourism Tribe's Online Courses?
We have courses to suit all abilities, schedules and budgets. Follow these links to find out more about our current courses:
Are there any entry requirements for the Online Training Courses?
No, and all of our courses are delivered in plain English, not technical jargon!
That said, you will need to have basic digital literacy skills to be able to work through the course materials (i.e. you should be comfortable using a computer and navigating the internet).
I need to learn the basics of using my computer and navigating the internet, can you help me with that?
Yes, to some extent we can. However, all of our courses and training content are designed for people with at least a competent level of digital literacy in an business environment. This means you must know your way around: a computer, a printer, basic software, a browser, a digital calendar, adding / removing items to your cart. You must also understand how to use email, online video conferencing tools such as Zoom, Google Meet etc.
If you feel that you will need a lot of assistance in learning to use your computer, navigating the internet and apps on your mobile phone, you might like to look for some other resources that can assist you with building your confidence.
We recommend the learning service Be Connected. This is an Australian Government initiative aimed at increasing the confidence, skills and online safety of Australians in using digital technology. The Be Connected topic library has lots of resources on a range of topics including the absolute basics, cyber safety, how to use specific devices (e.g. apple iPad, Windows desktop, etc).
Does Tourism Tribe offer One-on-One coaching or consultations?
We sure do. We offer fully interactive "Private Consultations" which our skilled Digital Strategists will completely customise to you and your business. They will help you conquer your digital demons and leave you with actionable plan to continue on with.

Email issues
I am not getting your emails
Prior to going into the causes of why you may not be getting our emails, it is important for you to know that emails are just there to provide you with further information which is available on your program page.
The only email you need from us is the first one, which tells you how to create your account.
Our emails are either sent from help@tourismtribe.com or programs@tourismtribe.com.
Likely causes of you not getting our emails
- Check your promotions/spam folders as they may have gotten filtered there by your email provider. Search your inbox/promotions/spam folders for emails from Tourism Tribe or programs@tourismtribe.com. Add program@tourismtribe.com and help@tourismtribe.com to your address book/contact list to ensure future emails from us get to your inbox.
- Double-check what email you used to join the program. It may have been misspelled or you might be looking in the wrong inbox if you have several email addresses.
- If you have previously or even recently unsubscribed from Tourism Tribe, you will not be receiving any emails from us. If this is the case you will need to lodge a "change of enrolment" form. Please be aware that these changes attract a fee. However, you can always log into TourismTribe even if you have marked us as spam. Your login will work as well as any password reset email.
- You may have a problem with our emails being blocked by your email provider or by a firewall. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this and you will need to talk to your IT support.
I'm not getting Zoom emails
The important thing to understand is that even if you're not getting Zoom emails, you can go to your program page and click the link to register for the upcoming webinars. Whilst we have already invited you, this is a quick way for you to make sure you can participate as once you have registered the thank-you page will give you the direct zoom link (that also is sent via email).
All Zoom invites and reminders will come from no-reply@zoom.us. Make sure you add this to your safe senders.
If you are not receiving Zoom emails, but are receiving our emails, there are two common problems:
- Zoom emails maybe be getting filtered to your spam/junk/promotions folder.
- Your organisation may be blocking emails from Zoom
Please read this article by Zoom for how to solve the problem (and make sure to read right to the bottom, because the simplest possible solution is right at the end). Unfortunately, we cannot solve this issue on our end as it is a problem between your email server and Zoom.
Please note we are not able to resend zoom links so please use the zoom webinar registration button as explained in the first paragraph.
Digital Engagement Health Check™
What elements of your online presence are assessed in the Digital Engagement Health Check™?
The Digital Engagement Health Check™. has been designed to help Tourism Businesses improve their online presence across their website, Google My Business, TripAdvisor, Facebook, and Instagram accounts.
How much detail does the Digital Engagement Health Check™ measure?
Tourism Tribe will conduct a ‘secret-shopper’-style assessment of your digital footprint and provide you with a 57-point report in plain English (no tech jargon here) that will show you step by step why each point you failed needs to be fixed, and how to fix it.
Can I add extra assets or amend the assets I have provided?
Once our assessor commences your Digital Engagement Health Check™ (DEHC) the process cannot be amended. Your business may benefit from purchasing a secondary DEHC so you can compare the changes your business has made. Only one of each type of asset (e.g. Instagram) can be assessed per assessment. This means that if you have multiple accounts on any of the assessed platforms you will need to nominate only one to be reviewed.
How long is the report and is it cookie cutter to similar businesses like mine?
Unlike many other health checks you may find online, ours is manually completed by our expert assessors who have received extensive training and have industry experience. The DEHC is an assessment of your digital footprint and provides you with a 57-point report in plain English (no tech jargon here) that will show you step by step why each point you failed needs to be fixed, and how to fix it.
How do I know if the DEHC has worked for my business?
Once your business addresses the changes outlined in the Digital Engagement Health Check™, we recommend a secondary Health Check combined with one-on-one coaching to measure your progress. Our digital strategists will complete a secondary full Digital Engagement Health Check™ of your online assets, followed by a private 60 minute 1:1 coaching session (or three if you’re keen). These sessions are tailored to achieve YOUR objectives and fix YOUR issues based on your digital health check results. No cookie-cutter approach here!

How can I change my details once enrolled?

On your My account area, you will be able to change/update at any time, at no cost:
- First name
- Last name
- Business name
- Digital Engagement Health Check ™ urls

Changes that need to be requested in writing
Any changes not listed above are considered a 'change of enrolment'. To do so, you need to fill out our change of enrolment request accessible from the button on your program page.
Your request will be sent to the client and program coordinator. Please be aware that changes of enrolment that cannot be automated incur a fee. The client will contact you if this is the case to get your approval if this is the case.

- Change of email address and/or contact details of the participant
- Change of program participant (e.g. staff member has left the business)
- Re-subscribing a participant that unsubscribed or marked our emails as spam.
- Change of asset urls for the Digital Engagement Health Check ™ once it has been initiated (which happens immediately when the participant is onboarded.
Note: If the participant wants to update their asset URLs for us to consider in their subsequent Digital Engagement Health Check, they can do so by themselves from their Account detail area of their ‘My Account’ area. Note that these details will only be taken into consideration for their subsequent Digital Engagement Health Check ™ if it has not yet been initiated. Doing so after it has been initiated will be considered a change of enrolment. - Requesting the DHEC ™ to be completed at a different time
- Requesting the coaching to be brought forward or completed post-coaching timeframes.
