Developing an Integrative Approach to Sustaining Indigenous Tourism and Cultural Heritage Management in the Top End of Australia

该项目旨在评估与其他高端土地用途相比，土著旅游业的经济、生态和社会文化影响及可持续性。达尔文地区将作为案例研究，通过评估达尔文周围文化遗址的科学和文化意义、保护需求和可能的旅游兴趣，向传统所有者拉拉基亚人提供信息，说明将文化遗产管理与土著旅游相结合的可行性。将审查土著旅游的国际文献和历史，以确定市场，并审查在土著参与和主流文化旅游、土著旅游和土著农村产业之间的联系方面政府战略的政策和做法。将建立一个案例研究数据库，以确定促成顶端土著旅游项目成功的因素。

This project aims to assess economic, ecological and socio-cultural impacts and sustainability of Indigenous tourism, compared with other Top End land uses. The Darwin region will be used as a case study to provide the traditional owners, the Larrakia, with information on the feasibility of incorporating cultural heritage management with Indigenous tourism, by assessing the scientific and cultural significance, conservation needs and likely tourism interest of cultural heritage sites around Darwin. The international literature and history of Indigenous Tourism will be reviewed to identify markets, and examine policy and practice of government strategies in terms of Indigenous participation and links between mainstream Cultural Tourism, Indigenous Tourism and Indigenous rural industry. A case study database will be built to identify factors that contribute to success of Indigenous tourism projects in the Top End.
