First Nations Tourism Business Planning, South Coast NSW

Project Description

Over the past two years, TRC Tourism has been working together with the NSW Department of Primary Industries, supporting Tourism Business and Marketing Plan development for First Nations cultural tourism operators on South Coast NSW. Each business plan has been tailored to suit where the business was at and set an achievable five-year pathway for business owners.
