Program Overview
The Scenic Rim Regional Council is offering this fully funded program to assist local tourism businesses with improving their digital skills via workshops, one on one sessions, and digital health checks provided by Tourism Tribe.

What’s included
- To start off you’ll get a full Digital Health Check of your online assets, including your website, Google My Business listing, Facebook and Instagram.
- Once you’ve received your digital health check report including recommendations, we’ll book you in for private 1:1 consultations with our digital and small business coaches to help you to gain clarity and direction for how to whip your digital footprint into tip top shape.
- All the while, you’ll be attending 4 separate workshops to give you the knowledge you’ll need to implement the recommended changes.

FAQs
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.
Participant questions

You will receive an initial invitation, as well as a reminder, 1 day and 1 hour before the webinar is due to commence. Each of these emails will include your link to join.
If you cannot find your zoom link go to your program page and click the button to re-register.
I'm not receiving Zoom emails (invitations and reminders for online workshops/meetings)
All Zoom invites and reminders will come from no-reply@zoom.us.
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 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.
Links to join are unique so please don't share your link.
When will I find out if I've gotten into a program
The best place to find an answer to this question is through your program coordinator. They will generally email the successful applicants. We then follow this up with an email including program information and instructions.
How can I change my details once enrolled?
Once you have confirmed your participation and validated your details using the "Welcome to the program" email (the first email you would have received from Tourism Tribe), you are considered 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
Note that if your program components have already been initiated, these details will only be taken into consideration at the next initiation of your program components. This means that if your Digital Engagement Health Check ™ has already been queued to start, these details will not be updated until another Digital Engagement Health Check ™ gets initiated.
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.
Example of change of enrolment that may incur a fee:
Examples of “change of enrolment” include (but are not limited to)
- 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.

What is/included in a Digital Engagement Health Check ™?
The Digital Health Check ™ is a tool we have developed to help you quickly assess what areas of your online presence need improvement to provide a better online experience to your potential clients.
The Digital Health Check is a very detailed assessment of your business’s online presence. It provides a thorough analysis of important aspects of your website, Facebook, Instagram, Google My Business and TripAdvisor profile.
Tourism Tribe will conduct a scan against detailed criteria for each platform with recommendations on how to improve in these areas.
Not all programs include a Digital Engagement Health Check ™. You can always buy one separately here.

Note: we send you 2 email and sms reminders to check the details provided. If we haven't heard from you after these reminders you will be automatically enrolled and won't be able to modify your details.
How can I change who in my business is participating in the program?
