City of Newcastle has been working with community and industry to develop a road map that ensures tourism adds value to the economy, social fabric and ecology of our communities. The process was supported by considerable research, commissioned by City of Newcastle, which was shared with industry and used to inform the development of the DMP.
Representatives of local tourism industry and stakeholder organisations, groups and individuals with an interest in tourism across Newcastle came together to determine perceptions around important issues, challenges and opportunities to sustainably grow tourism over the next five years.
