The Recipient will further existing market research undertaken by Visit Ruapehu and develop a Destination Plan which explores tourism opportunities within the region (both current, and those with the potential to fill current gaps in the market), to better define the destination as an attractive tourism offering. The Project will identify areas for tourism development within the region, help to create a cohesive story and package to offer to visitors, and provide a clear value proposition the region can used to attract visitors. The two key components in achieving the opportunity are the development of a destination value proposition and brand promise which develops, articulates and outlines the destination’s value proposition and brand promise. Including the distinctive and unique elements of the destination, its offering and its must do attractions;. A destination development plan which contains the focus and commercial reasoning for development of the existing and compelling natural assets of the sub-region

This will include an assessment and recommendation of the timeframes for which any interventions may be required and how to sustain the momentum.
