WINE TOURISM
A good knowledge of a region’s tourism assets and the extent to which they match visitor needs is essential for destination planning and marketing (Roberts and Deery, 2008).
1. Using the headings and model below, prepare a resource inventory that helps to give your chosen wine region/destination its “identity”. *See below for wine region *
Overview of the Region
Proximity to major population centers
Wineries and wine produced
Primary food production and food service
Accommodation
Natural attractions
Marine/coastal aspects
Heritage
Culture and the arts
Sports and adventure activities
Other attractions
2. Based on your analysis of the segments of your region that contribute to the identity of the region, categorize your region as either emerging, growing, maturing, or rejuvenating. Please use the criteria below, and justify your placement of the region in that category.
