The Strategic Planning Section will help you use the information gathered in the Situation Analysis Section to develop a tourism strategy which addresses all stakeholder needs.
The following diagram illustrates how your analysis of the current situation of tourism in your area can inform council planning processes.
Local authority planning processes need to balance the needs of the tourism industry with those of other stakeholder groups. Recalling the VICE model, the requirements of visitors, the tourism industry, the local community and the environment must be taken into account.

A key issue for local authorities will be to determine how planning for tourism is, or should be, different from planning for other areas of council responsibility.
This Toolbox identifies the major tourism sector players at the national, regional and local levels, and the benefits of engaging with the industry as part of the local authority’s planning process.
This Toolbox builds on the earlier material by providing a series of frameworks to enhance a local authority’s strategic planning process for infrastructure.
