We tend to think of tourism in terms of competition among countries. Institutions like the UNWTO and World Economic Forum encourage such thinking by focusing most of their attention on country level statistics and measures. But that is not how tourists think. In general, when tourists say that they are going to another country, they really mean that they are going to one or more destinations within that country. When I take a trip, I plan to travel somewhere, where I will engage in some activities. Those activities will take place in a specific location. In a specific destination or community. This is our focus today. To understand that economic development from tourism – at least, that which is tangible to our people – happens at the local destination level. Not at the central or national level.
The presentation introduces the tourism circuit approach to local destination planning, an approach adopted by the Local Governance Support Program for Local Economic Development (LGSP-LED). Using LGSP-LED project sites as examples, the presentation gives an overview of tourism circuit planning and development as a framework for enabling the growth of more inclusive, sustainable, and competitive tourism destinations.
