Hold the vision, trust the process

26/03/2018 Written by itstheadmin
In 2014 Somerset Regional Council engaged The Stafford Group to develop the Somerset Region Destination Management Plan.
WHY?

Council identified the potential of Somerset as a highly attractive tourism destination particularly given its ideal location in the heart of south east Queensland. Through research, visitor statistics and identifying key focus areas for tourism growth, the Destination Management Plan (DMP) gives us a clearly defined framework to develop tourism in Somerset.
