Learning Outcomes and Application | Assessing strategic tourism opportunities for local communities focuses on the overall and long-term operation of tourism as an activity or industry for the community. The assessment might focus on potential tourism developments or on the expansion of current activities.An assessment would normally be conducted for a particular tourism venue or individual tourism product. However, it could be conducted for a whole region or local area that wants to develop tourism as a new or complementary industry to expand its economic base.The local community wishing to operate a commercial tourism venture would normally make a request for the assessment. However, the assessment process could be instigated by local and regional tourism or industry organisations. In either case, the assessment is based on a need for communities to make informed decisions about their potential involvement in tourism and the potential for success. This unit applies to senior tourism industry personnel from local, regional or state and territory tourism organisations, to senior community members and to tourism business management consultants who operate autonomously and have a strategic tourism planning role. | ||
