Abstract

This paper describes the strategic planning of interpretation for an established tourism destination" the Minnamurra Rainforest Centre, in Budderoo National Park, NSW. There is a surprising paucity of models in the interpretation and environmental education literature. This paper examines a research-driven planning process for interpretation that utilised the McArthur and Hall (1996) model, as a starting point, and discusses the research that resulted in a considerably expanded version of their approach and more integrative process. The Minnamurra Rainforest Centre case study illustrates why strategic planning is critical for interpretation if such programs are to respond to the demands of contemporary heritage interpretation for visitors.
