A group of local, regional and national organisations are working together to make the Mt Lofty Ranges a World Heritage Site. If successful, South Australia’s premier agricultural region would join Egypt’s pyramids, the Taj Mahal and the Great Barrier Reef as an internationally recognised site.
Without a doubt, being ranked alongside an international A-list of leading sites would have a positive economic and social impact on the Mt Lofty Ranges region. World Heritage Site status can also be a powerful tool to promote socio-economic benefit for host communities.
James Rebanks (UK) examines World Heritage Sites across the world to discover how sites attract economic development. Rebanks’ presentation will highlight what implications his findings might have for the food, wine and tourism economy of the proposed Mount Lofty Ranges Agrarian Landscape UNESCO bid.
