Destination management plan
Shoalhaven Destination Management Plan 2018-2023
The Shoalhaven City Council has posted the Shoalhaven Destination Management Plan 2018-2023 on its website for community and interested parties to provide comment.
Public exhibition closes on at 5 pm 31 January - we know it is a busy time of year, but if you have an interest in this matter you only have this month to make comment.
The document can be found at: getinvolved.shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au/DMP
Their vision for tourism in the Shoalhaven region is;
“To be recognised as a year-round destination, valued for its quality environment and visitor experiences. A strong and vibrant tourism industry will be built on a diverse asset base that contributes to employment, economic benefit and the protection and enhancement of Shoalhaven’s natural environment.”
There are five key strategic focus areas identified in the DMP, they include;
1. Destination management
2. Destination marketing
3. Events
4. Local industry and advocacy
5. Infrastructure and investment
6. Visitor services
Each of the focus areas take into consideration current and future visitor demands as well as the role tourism plays in the development of the Shoalhaven. A key feature of the Destination Management focus area is a recently developed model to monitor and adaptively manage tourism to be more sustainable. The Shoalhaven 360 Model will be a key element in planning for the continued success of the industry, ensuring that the four pillars of successful tourism (Community, Visitor Experience, Economy and Environment) are across all focus areas. The model will be in place for the lifetime of this DMP and beyond, creating a living, constantly adapting plan that keeps the health of tourism in Shoalhaven in check.
