Farm & Country Tourism Kit to aid regional tourism
Collaboration between tourism and the arts.
November 19, 2004South Australia integrating tourism studies into the school curriculum
December 8, 2004I noticed this in the Tourism-Talk e-newsletter then Wendy Rhodes (Heyfield Wetlands Centre) provided a firsthand run-down on what’s been happening in her patch!
Alison and Charles Burke who set up their own farm business in Qld provided the real world experience for the kit – a short version which will enable people to measure the potential of their farms for tourism activities is available free.
Go (i) www.crctourism.com.au. (ii)click ‘New publication – Farm & Country..’ (iii) it’s the 10th on the list.
I’ve skimmed over this and it seems to cover all bases – quite good. I’d be really interested to see if you think it would engage busy grassroots people or is it too ‘academic’? Love to hear your response to this!!
FARM & COUNTRY TOURISM ON YOUR PROPERTY: stage 1 assessment tool
By Carolyn Fausnaugh, Paul Waight, Karen Higginbottom & Chelsea Northrope
This tool guides you to make a preliminary assessment about whether your region and property have the attributes for a successful tourism venture. If, after taking this initial assessment, you find that your property has tourism potential then we recommend you visit the websites listed on page 9 or obtain the Stage 2 Workbook from the Sustainable Tourism CRC (available June 2004). Stage 2 allows you to make a more thorough assessment of whether to proceed with your tourism business idea and helps you develop this idea into a full business plan.
