The ABC has reported on a new multi-million dollar plan to boost tourism along part of the Great Ocean Road in Victoria.
According to the news report, the area, known as the Shipwreck Coast, “attracts 2.6 million visitors a year but the average tourist stays less than 40 minutes and spends just 18 cents.”
The new developments, which include new lookouts, raised walkways, and improvements to telecommunications and WiFi, will bring extra tourist dollars and jobs to the region.
