Council is partnering with DTM Tourism to develop a new Kiama Visitor Economy Strategy (KVES) to guide tourism planning and management over the next four years.
The Strategy will deliver a practical, flexible, and future-focused plan to support a thriving, sustainable visitor economy, benefiting both the local tourism industry and the broader Kiama community.
Building on existing foundations, including the 2018–2028 Tourism Opportunities Plan and the Tourism & Events Strategic Plan (2022–2026), the KVES will set out clear actions, measurable outcomes, and align Kiama’s priorities with regional, state, and national directions — while celebrating the unique character and strengths of our region.
