In other places, things are sold as packages. I think if everything was more open, people would explore further into the area.” Survey respondent “There’s an opportunity to look at tourism providers who are currently hobbyists and provide a supportive environment for them to take the leap into developing a professional enterprise.” Workshop participant “There’s a lot of great work being done by communities who are developing tourism in their local towns and villages without even realising it’s tourism!
