provide the <strong>Flinders</strong> <strong>Ranges</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Outback</strong> with an innovative <strong>and</strong> strategic<br />

policy <strong>and</strong> planning framework that will help attract <strong>and</strong> grow investment <strong>and</strong><br />

build capacity in sustainable tourism within the Region.<br />

There has been extensive consultation with regional communities, tourism<br />

operators <strong>and</strong> State Government <strong>and</strong> regional organisations with an interest in<br />

tourism.<br />

achieving this target;<br />

• A differentiated 'br<strong>and</strong> strategy', based upon an underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the<br />

region's target markets <strong>and</strong> inherent attributes;<br />
