Simon McArthur – His World of Interpretation
Simon has 30 years of experience working in sustainable tourism. He is known across the World as The Tourism Doctor. The name came from his numerous visits to struggling destinations, where he helped stakeholders diagnose constraints and develop interventions that enhanced the competitiveness and sustainability of tourism in the area. This ability comes from Simon’s ability to use right and left brain thinking, to flip from destination analysis to creative product development to feasibility assessment to development plan documentation.
Simon is renown for his ability to interpret social trends into unmet market needs and then into creative tourism product development that meets these needs. He has an innate skill to match target markets to tourism products and identify products that are mismatched.
Simon has worked in the world of interpretation all of his working life, was Vice President of Interpretation Australia Association for several years, and has published several books on how to use interpretation to manage visitors coming to experience our most special places.
