A Shared Decision-Making Process Built with Stakeholders
It is also a collaborative process that brings together government, operators, communities, and traditional owners to agree on priorities. The plan uses evidence, such as visitor trends, local needs, and risk assessments, to align everyone on practical steps and accountability.
A Set of Measurable Actions to Improve Impact and Experience
Sustainable destination planning becomes real through actions and indicators: cleaner transport, better waste systems, local procurement, and visitor management tools like dispersal routes or timed entry. Progress is tracked through KPIs such as community sentiment, conservation outcomes, and visitor satisfaction.
