Destination Management Plan
The Murray Destination Management Plan (DMP) provides the blueprint to secure growth and economic vibrancy for the region.
The DMP is a strategic plan which builds on the outcomes of the Murray Region DMP 2012, to provide an updated strategic approach to prioritising key tourism experiences and product development and ensure continued sustainable growth of the visitor economy.
It is the result of significant consultation and engagement with a broad range of stakeholders, from governments to tourism operators, large and small. Tourism is the second largest employer along the Murray, providing 20 per cent of the region’s jobs. It also draws billions of dollars into local economies, making the sector’s growth crucial for the region.
In 2017 the visitor economy supported:
• 5.4 million visitors (daytrip and overnight).
• $2.9 billion in visitor expenditure in the region (direct and indirect).
• 24,968 tourism related jobs (direct and indirect), representing 19.9% of total employment in the region.
