Regional insights

Interstate, intrastate and international visitors all agree that the proximity of the Fleurieu Peninsula to Adelaide is appealing. Interstate and intrastate are also attracted by the diversity with coast, food & wine, wildlife and a range of activities combining strongly. 

The key priorities for the Regional Visitor Strategy include, encouraging year-round visitation and driving visitor yield, growing spend from day-trippers and converting some day trippers to overnight stays. This will be achieved through events, accommodation improvements, product development and marketing.
