Journal Article
Questions of Value: Tourism and the Resources Boom
2012
Overview
[...]export-dependent sectors other than mining, notably the Australian tourism industry, suffer from what in economics was identified as 'Dutch disease' in the late 1970s. Many of Australia's heritage assets are located in regional areas and cultural tourism contributes significantly to economic growth but also to social policy in these places (CRC, Economic Value). Since 2006 the number of domestic overnight cultural and heritage visitors has grown by 11%, while total domestic overnight visits remained flat over the same period. [...]the very notions of 'theories of development' and policy 'intent' are destabilised, while underlying forces that constitute the conditions of policy intervention on both a consumerist and ecological level are brought to the fore. First and foremost, a local community should have the opportunity to impact on the direction this change will take, based on informed decisions that are supported by formal political processes and not jeopardised by skirmishes.
