8.7.5 Communication of Heritage Values

Tourism will have a vital, ongoing role in communicating the natural and cultural heritage values of
the KAVHA site.

The history and significance of the KAVHA site, including individual elements and related places,
will be communicated to visitors, both on and off site.

Primary research and historical evidence will inform and guide the development of tourism
experiences.

The tourism industry and KAVHA site management will collaborate to ensure that appropriate training
and education is available for tourism industry personnel, and that heritage values and other relevant
information are communicated to visitors in a coordinated, accurate and consistent manner.

Cooperative opportunities for promotion of heritage values to visitor markets linked to other
properties which are part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage property will be explored,
as outlined in the Australian Convict Sites Strategic Management Framework.

8.7.6 Industry Partnership

The tourism industry will be recognised as a key stakeholder in the conservation and management
of the KAVHA site.

The Australian Government and KAVHA Manager will participate in, and contribute to the strategic
development of the tourism industry on Norfolk Island and the implementation of the Norfolk Island
Strategic Plan, as part of their roles in the conservation and management of the KAVHA site.

Tourism at the KAVHA site will be managed through a collaborative and consultative process
involving KAVHA site management and local tourism industry representatives.

Representatives from the tourism industry will be provided with opportunities to become actively
involved through communication and collaboration.

Representatives from the tourism industry will be consulted to identify their needs and opportunities.

Participants in the tourism industry will be recognised as contributing partners in the conservation
and management of the KAVHA site.

Projects which concurrently benefit the KAVHA site and support tourism will be identified and
accorded implementation priority.

Provision will be made for a financial contribution towards the conservation and management of the
KAVHA site from commercial tourism activities. These arrangements will be developed and
introduced through a consultative process so as to minimise impact on the tourism industry and
maximise the reinvestment potential of tourism into KAVHA in a sustainable manner for both
heritage and tourism.

Private community events (such as weddings) will be encouraged and financial contributions will
only be sought on a cost recovery basis.
