Tourism Planning

The Tourism Planning Group's key role is the strategic direction and alignment of broader Government policy and decision making with the goals of the tourism industry, (as articulated in the joint industry/Government South Australian Tourism Plan 2003-2008).

The Group's Key Objectives include:

  • Develop and maintain a clear vision for tourism industry growth (in conjunction with key stakeholders) 
  • Ensure Government 'rules' are aligned with SATC aspirations (vision and policy alignment) 
  • Encourage key stakeholders to become committed advocates for our tourism vision 
  • Remove unnecessary barriers to existing and new tourism development (focus on industry competitiveness) 
  • Facilitate the development of new quality tourism product (particularly experiential accommodation relating to our key themes) 
  • Build Local Government tourism planning capacity (to help communities facilitate sustainable tourism).
