As identified in the ‘Local Government Pathways to Sustainable Tourism’ toolkit developed by the Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre, the development of a regional governance map can assist in understanding the tourism planning framework in which a destination operates. A governance map helps to identify linkages between stakeholders, decision-making and governance structures and the plans and policies at a National, State and Local level that will impact on the strategic planning for tourism in a destination. An example of a governance map is provided below.

Planning for tourism in a destination must not only integrate with National and State tourism strategies and policies but also consider other relevant plans such as economic development, infrastructure, environment, sport and recreation and transport. For further information on the planning environment in which tourism operates please see the section on ‘Statutory and Planning Environment’.
