CONCEPT
CREATE INCOME FOR THE RIVER TOWNS.
PROMOTE TO THE CONCIENCE OF THE SA PUBLIC THAT:
BY SPENDING THEIR RECREATION DOLLARS IN THE MURRAY AREA THEY COULD HELP THE AREAS SURVIVAL FOR A FURTHER 12 MONTHS (CREATING TIME).
MAKE IT A STATUS SYMBOL TO HOLIDAY ALONG THE RIVER THIS SEASON INSTEAD OF HEADING INTERSTATE & OVERSEAS.
ADELAIDE COACH COMPANIES WOULD CARRY TOURS (SOME MAY EVEN STAY OVERNIGHT” ON SPECIAL “VISIT THE RIVER AND SEE THE DEVASTATION CAUSED BY THE DROUGHT” TOURS. COACH OPERATORS ARE ACTIVELY SEEKING NEW TOUR VENUES).
USE NORMAL ACCOMMODATION & “FUN” ACCOMMADTION SUCH AS BACKPACKER VENUES.
LOCAL BUS OPERATORS COULD CARRY TRAVELLERS TO VISIT PLACES OF SPECIFIC INTEREST. (AS PER MONARTO ZOO STYLE).
GET THE SA EDUCATION SYSTEM INVOLVED.
BREAKFAST, LUNCH &DINNER AT SELECTED FARMS & ORCHARDS WOULD CREATE EMPLOYMENT.
BUY LOCAL ORANGES, GRAPES, IN FACT ANY LOCAL PRODUCE TO TAKE HOME.
SPECIAL “PASSPORTS” STAMPED AT TOWNS VISITED ALONG THE RIVER WOULD CREATE INTEREST AND BECOME COLLECTORS ITEMS.
PLAY ONE GOLF HOLE FOR AT 18 SELECTED COURSES. WINNERS PRIZES.
THERE ARE TOO MANY PROMOTIONAL IDEAS TO LIST THEM ALL, BUT THE CHALLENGE COULD BE EASILY PUT TO THE PUBLIC, AND THE REWARD ENORMOUS FOR THE STATE AND MURRAY TOWNS.
GET A MEETING OF ALL MAYORS, CEOs, POLITITIANS, TOURIST OPERATORS AND MEDIA.TO EXPLORE IDEAS.
ACTION
WORK WITH STAKEHOLDERS & DIGNATERIES .E.g MARK RICCUITO.
SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF ROGER QUINCEY.(CHAIRMAN SA COACH ASSOC.). TO PREVAIL UPON COACH COMPANIES TO FOCUS ON THE RIVER COMMUNITIES.
THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION MUST USE HER OFFICE TO DISSUADE SCHOOLS FROM THE PRACTICE OF STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN INTERSTATE AND EXPENSIVE “SKI JUNKETS”, IN FAVOUR OF EDUCATIONAL STUDENT EXCURSIONS TO THE RIVER TOWNS. SA GOV SHOULD HEAVILY SUBSIDISE THIS EXCERSISE.
ESTABLISH ALTERNATE ACCOMMODATION SUCH AS BACK PACKER HOSTELS. A GOOD EXAMPLE WOULD BE THE HARVEST TRAIL LODGE IN LOXTON, WITH FOUR TO A ROOM THEY CAN SLEEP ABOUT 80.
MOBILISE LOCAL PRODUCERS AND FARMERS FOR B&B LUNCHEONS ETC.
ORGANIZE GOLF CLUBS TO ACCEPT TOURIST WANTING TO PLAY A SPECIFICALLY SELECTED HOLE ON THE “EXTENDED” COURSE.
RIVERLAND PASSPORTS STAMPED AT EVERY TOWN VISITED.
FISHING CONTESTS
REGARDS
CAPTAIN DAVID BEAN
HERE'S SOME IDEAS TO PROMOTE INCOME TO OUR RIVER TOWNS.
Probably worth a try. at least its something. I would add prizes to the idea.
eg golf tickets to the sa open, travel passes, discount vouchers.
Tony
I have a daughter doing year 11 at one of our local private schools. I am expected to pay $500 for her to go to Canberra when they could learn a lot in their own backyard,
Liza
WE THINK THAT THE SA EDUCATION DEPT COULD BE DOING A LOT MORE TOO.
ED.
I'M NOT TOO SURE. THE MINISTER JANE LOMAX-SMITH HAS ALWAYS APPEARED TO BE A GOOD SOUTH AUSTRALIAN AND ABOVE POLITICS.
WE'LL ASK HER IF SHE CAN DIRECT SCHOOL CURRICULEM TOWARDS STUDYING THE MURRAY AS A PRIORITY.
ED
HAD SOME DIALOGUE WITH THE SPOKESMAN FOR SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION ON THE 22nd MARCH 09, BUT NO FEED BACK AS YET. ED
