Discussing the future path of Destination Marlborough

Public meetings have been held around Marlborough, including Picton (pictured), to discuss the future of visitor industry support services as part of the Destination Marlborough Future Path Project.

59 submissions were received by online survey which closed on 15 November. The findings will be presented to Council in December.

The Destination Marlborough Trust was established by Council as Marlborough’s regional tourism organisation responsible for tourism marketing and management in October 1997. The Future Path Project was set up to rescope and redesign the future role, purpose, functions, structure and resourcing of Destination Marlborough so it can contribute to Marlborough’s future success.

Destination Marlborough continues for the immediate future as part of Council - within its existing funding structure - to ensure Marlborough’s tourism marketing continues while its function and structure is reviewed.
