Description
In support of next steps, this Tourism Barometer has been developed to provide a situational analysis that guides tourism development in the country. It is critical that there is wide participation in the development of The Barometer by public and private stakeholders. Consultations have already been held with both the 7th and 8th Constitutional Governments, and two Timor-Leste Tourism Symposia were held in October 2017 on the topics of tourism partnership and destination marketing. It is envisaged that The Barometer is a living document and will therefore require ongoing consultation among stakeholders to absorb refinements and encourage continuity. Ideally, The Barometer will become a guiding document for any future tourism-specific public-private partnership arrangements that may be established, such as a Tourism Authority of Timor-Leste (TATL) or similar.
