National Capital Tourism

This project will undertake desk based research on national capital city tourism and collate previous studies and reports into a bibliography. Workshops in the ACT will be undertaken to ascertain issues affecting tourism in the Australian national capital before interview key contacts in Ottawa and Washington DC. This research will help generate an understanding of common tourism issues facing similar national capital cities and the development of a research strategy to address these issues through a suite of potential research projects and initiatives. A major focus of the project will be associated with the branding and positioning of national capital cities.
