WA unveils Heritage Tourism strategy
The WA Government will invest $250,000 in heritage related tourism as part of the State’s Heritage Tourism Strategy.
The Strategy, unveiled in Collie yesterday, will form part of the operational plans of both the Heritage Council of WA and Tourism Western Australia.
“WA has much to offer the heritage tourist through its distinctive history and unique sense of place,” Heritage Minister Michelle Roberts said.
“This new strategy recognises the value and importance of heritage tourism. Importantly, it will provide a co-ordinated approach to promoting and conserving our diverse historical assets.”
“By highlighting aspects of our past in a meaningful and engaging way, we can create and offer a tourism experience much sought-after by visitors.
Tourism Minister Sheila McHale said research had shown that heritage and historic tourism provided significant social and economic benefits for those who adopt, nurture and stimulate it.
“Income from this source also tends to be dispersed more evenly throughout the State than other forms of tourism, with regional communities enjoying a proportionately higher return,” she said.
“Perhaps not surprisingly, the growth of heritage tourism is largely being driven by the ‘baby boomers’, a group with the time, income and personal interest to devote to heritage travel.
