"This Strategic Overview was developed through a series of community consultations with Aboriginal people involved in tourism or who are interested in tourism enterprises. Unfortunately, due to the limited scope of this project, it was not possible to consult with all of the Aboriginal people, groups and organisations within the Wet Tropics.

It is an opportune time to outline a strategy for cultural tourism development in the Wet Tropics. In recent years, two key initiatives in North Queensland have provided an excellent starting point for this project. Firstly the Townsville and District ATSIC Regional Council’s Economic Development Strategy (ATSIC:1996) represents a comprehensive appraisal of indigenous enterprise success and failure factors, which is an important analysis that sheds light on the reasons for low tourism industry participation by Rainforest Bama. This strategy is directly relevant to cultural tourism development in the Wet Tropics, involving Aboriginal communities in the southern parts of the Wet Tropics. Secondly, Balkanu Cape York Development Corporation (‘Balkanu’) has developed, and is in the process of implementing, ‘business hubs’ which are aimed at facilitating and supporting enterprise development in the Cape York region."
