6.1 CASSOWARY COAST TOURISM DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC DIRECTION

Executive Summary:

Council's Tourism resources have to date been predominantly invested in traditional Information Centre activities designed to service visitors in-destination after they have arrived. To improve efficiencies and achieve the key objectives of economic growth and destination development this strategy needs to change, especially if we are to be effective in today’s highly competitive market. Optimising the utilisation of Council's current tourism budget and resources can facilitate progress in this direction over the next two to three years. The allocation of tourism resources needs to align with contemporary strategies and be spread across the industry-based Local Tourism Organisation (LTO), Visitor Information services, and Local Government-based tourism development activities. This direction aims to improve efficiencies and to improve opportunities for our destination to increase visitation, to strengthen the tourism sector, and to contribute more to the economy. Recommendation:

“That Council approve the allocation of $100,000.00 to support the Local Tourism Organisation (LTO) - Tropical Coast Tourism contingent on a review of current Visitor Information Centre models that delivers savings to offset this investment.”
