Develop interpretive activities
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024
This unit applies to many industry sectors and has particular relevance in tourism, sport and recreation and cultural contexts. Interpretive activities take place on historical, cultural, heritage or nature-based tours, in attractions and theme parks, in national parks or in locations such as museums, galleries, libraries, performing arts centres and zoos. Activities could be virtual.
Planning and development of interpretive activities may be for a series of activities within a venue or tour operation or for a oneoff activity. It could be the responsibility of the person delivering the activity or be developed by senior operational or supervisory personnel. The planning role applies to those who work independently with limited guidance from others. This could include senior guides, activities coordinators, or owner-operators of small organisations.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop interpretive activities for different customer groups. It requires the ability to establish educational, interpretive and commercial objectives, develop operational aspects and evaluate the success of the activity. The actual presentation of activities is covered in the unit SITTGDE304 Prepare and present tour commentaries or activities.
