South Australia’s Mt Lofty Ranges World Heritage bid could invigorate the state’s tourism sector – offering visitors a unique and authentic cultural experience, as well as creating more jobs and boosting the economy.
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 Mount Lofty Ranges.
The lecture will give weight to the Mt Lofty Ranges World Heritage bid, proposed by six South Australian councils. If the bid is successful, up to 150,000 hectares from the Fleurieu Peninsula to the Barossa Valley will be protected and promoted globally for their cultural and agricultural assets.
