Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has partnered with Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism (MPRT), industry stakeholders, and the State Government to establish a Visitor Economy Partnership (VEP).    

Lead by MPRT the VEP is recognised as the peak voice for the visitor economy in the region. 

This partnership represents a new collaborative approach to growing the visitor economy by supporting local industry to expand and employ more residents, developing new visitor experiences, delivering compelling events, and promoting the region through coordinated marketing. 

 

Destination Management Plan

The Mornington Peninsula Destination Management Plan (DMP) provides a five-year strategic framework for the collaborative approach for the development of the region’s visitor economy. 

The objectives of the DMP are: 

  1. To increase geographic dispersal, with growth in visitation to Hinterland, Western Port, Southern and Northern Peninsula and Frankston sub regions

  2. To increase visitor yield through higher spend and increased length of stay 

  3. To enable an unparalleled visitor experience and satisfaction with visitors enriched by the highest level of service and supporting quality infrastructure 

  4. To increase awareness of the region as a premium coastal destination, both interstate and internationally to grow these segments 

Rich in product and experiences, the DMP highlights that the primary strength and appeal of the Mornington Peninsula is its coastal landscape and premium products and experiences. 

It also emphasizes a range of key product pillars that are competitive advantages that drive visitation.  These include: 

  • Destination food and drink 
  •  Spa and wellness 
  •  Events and attractions 
  •  Golf 
  •  Coast and nature
