The Townsville Tourism Opportunity Plan (TOP), 2007-2010 Destination Marketing Plan and the Sustainable Regions for Queensland - Magnetic Island report all identify Magnetic Island as a major development catalyst for the Townsville region.
The TOP proposed that a key theme for this tourism precinct is Sustainability and listed a number of specific tourism projects that are needed to enhance Magnetic Island as a Sustainable Destination. The aim of the ‘Magnetic Island as a Sustainable Destination’ project is to conduct detailed market research to assess new product options.
This research was funded by DEEDI and SeaLink Qld as part of the Tourism Projects Pre-Feasibility Grants scheme because it specifically targets the key theme of Magnetic Island as a Sustainable Destination.
In the first stage of the project 884 surveys have been completed by both visitors to the region and Townsville residents.
