foll ts that have been ca rried out of the area,
owed by matching strengths and opportunities identified in Workshop I to skills and resources within the community. (60 mins)
Activity: Strengths and Opportunities details from Workshop I are posted on flip chart sheets around the walls. Participants are asked to sit in groups of 6-8 people. The groups study the strengths and opportunities, skills and training, and business sheets. They identify how they see opportunities can be developed generally and also for tourism - looking solely at tourism too soon could lead to some related opportunities being missed e.g. improving the shopping environment could lead to more tourists.
3. Some questions to consider: Where do we want to be?
What could be developed for what recreational or tourism activities. What ancillary services and facilities are needed, and what marketing and promotion activities are needed?
How are we going to get there? Can a clear plan of action be developed, it is important to be realistic.
How quickly are we going to get there? The timing of development will depend on a host of local circumstances including, where the area is starting from, the availability of funding and the capacity within the local community
How do we know when we have got there? It is important to identify aims and objectives from the outset
How will we measure its success? It is important to identify indicators against which success can be measured
