Anyway, moving right along from the hood,  big surprise

here’s the link to the actual Draft Alpine Resort Strategic Plan. Certainly worth a read, even if you only look at the executive summary.DARSP-2012....
to address these issues…

• winter visitor days spent in alpine resorts are growing slowly but more quickly than Victorian domestic and regional tourism overall
• green season visitor numbers are small but growing
• alpine resorts continue to make significant economic and associated financial contributions to Victoria and to the regions in which they are located
• current roles and responsibilities of Alpine Resort Management Boards (ARMBs) are not well aligned with their financial capabilities
• ARMB costs have been seen by users as having increased too quickly in recent years
• there is no industry level plan for public investment opportunities, with supporting business cases, to help promote further development and visitor growth
• cost pressures are a major problem for many on-mountain businesses and site holders
• current key performance indicator processes for environmental and social indicators are not achieving their purpose and need to be reviewed
• the roles of key government agencies need to be clarified and better integrated, and accountabilities improved, to deliver the best outcomes for Victoria.

no surprises there…
