Tourism Victoria 9.79 Mb Inquiry into Heritage Tourism and Ecotourism Tourism Victoria Submission Tourism Victoria is the Victorian Government’s lead tourism agency and aims to market and grow the State’s tourism industry. In achieving these objectives, Tourism Victoria implements State Government policies as they relate to tourism development in Victoria and contribute to whole of government programs and policy implementation. Heritage and nature-based tourism are an important part of Victoria’s overall tourism offering and have been the focus of many of Tourism Victoria’s strategies and marketing activity. Tourism Victoria’s overarching Jigsaw campaign, with the slogan ‘You’ll love every piece of Victoria’, promotes the State’s diversity. It identifies Victoria’s product strengths, including natural attractions, skiing, arts, theatre and culture, shopping, food and wine, spa and wellbeing, special events and exhibitions. This paper sets out Tourism Victoria’s engagement with the heritage tourism and ecotourism sectors and summarises relevant tourism data. It highlights the importance the two sectors in terms of overall visitation and spend in the State. These sectors are also part of the Victorian Government’s broader tourism strategies and policies to grow the Victorian tourism industry. On 23 July 2013, the Minister for Tourism and Major Events, the Hon Louise Asher MP, released Victoria’s 2020 Tourism Strategy. The Strategy outlines a plan to grow the state’s overnight tourism expenditure to $24.7 billion by 2020, or growth of 6.6 per cent per annum. The Strategy, which was developed in consultation with industry and other stakeholders, identifies the following seven priority action areas: Digital Excellence – improving the state’s capabilities across all digital platforms and encouraging local tourism operators to adopt capabilities such as online bookings. International Marketing – investing in activities that raise brand awareness in key growth markets, including marketing campaigns in China, India and South East Asia, as well as direct engagement through Government-led trade missions. Domestic Marketing – continuing to position Melbourne as a creative and authentic destination, and developing and implementing campaigns that promote regional Victoria to interstate and intrastate visitors. Major Events and Business Events – continuing to attract major events and business events. Air Services Attraction – increasing direct air services from key growth markets, particularly China, India and South East Asia. Investment Attraction and Infrastructure Support – supporting investment, services and products that align with the needs and aspirations of consumers in key markets, including Asia. Skills and Workforce Development – attracting more people to the industry in occupations that have historically had persistent shortfalls, such as chefs, housekeeping and front office staff. On 23 August 2012, the Victorian Government also announced its response to the Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission inquiry into the tourism industry. The Government response agreed to a range of reforms to help grow the tourism sector, including allowing a wider range of tourism uses in regional planning zones and enabling appropriate and sensitive tourism products in areas of high natural amenity. These broader activities underpin and support specific tourism sectors, such as heritage tourism and ecotourism. HERITAGE TOURISM Heritage forms a key part of the cultural tourism offering in Victoria and is considered one of the State’s tourism strengths. It includes a broad range of attractions and can encompass the heritage aspects relating to townships, aboriginal tourism, architecture, art and culture. Examples of key heritage tourism offerings in Victoria include those associated with the gold rush, bush rangers, Chinese history, maritime history and Aboriginal heritage. Domestic and International Visitation for Visitors Participating in Cultural Tourism The following data relates to the cultural tourism visitation. Cultural visitors are defined as those who attended a theatre performance, a concert or other performing arts, a cultural festival, fair or event; or an Aboriginal performance and/or visited a museum, art gallery, art or craft workshop an Aboriginal site or community; or a history or heritage site while on their trip to Australia.

Over the same period the market share of nights spent by this segment in Victoria decreased by 2.7 percentage points to 15.9%. Engagement with the Sector Tourism Victoria’s engagement with the cultural tourism and heritage tourism sector dates back many years. Heritage provides the backdrop of much of Tourism Victoria’s promotion of the State. Images of heritage buildings and townships are often used in Tourism Victoria’s marketing campaigns, as they are visually appealing and create a sense of intimacy and interest. Melbourne is home to important heritage tourism attractions, many of which have been promoted in Tourism Victoria’s Melbourne marketing campaigns. Attractions include the historic features found in many of the CBD laneways, the World Heritage listed Royal Exhibition Building, historic theatres and art collections. Tourism Victoria’s promotion of many of the State’s regions incorporates heritage tourism, including: 4 the goldfields region, which includes the key destinations of Ballarat and Bendigo, as well as the many villages including Castlemaine, Maldon and Heathcote. The region is promoted as a rewarding contemporary, cultural experience set against a heritage backdrop; the Daylesford region, which boasts the largest concentration of mineral springs in Australia and has a rich heritage of spa and wellbeing; the Geelong and the Bellarine region, which features historic seaside villages; the High Country region; and the Murray River region. Heritage tourism, such as Aboriginal heritage and Chinese history, is also included in Tourism Victoria’s international marketing campaigns. In February 2010, the Victorian Government released the Arts, Theatre & Cultural Heritage Tourism Action Plan 2010-14.
