Fishing the 'big rivers' in Australia's Northern territory: market diversification for the Daly River

Carson, D. Schmallegger, D.
2009 CABI (ISBN 9781845934682)
This e-book chapter is concerned with the fishing assets (including rivers, estuaries, lakes and billabongs) of the Northern Territory (Australia) and how their use might reflect on innovation in the tourism destination system. Specifically, the chapter examines the level of diversity in the fishing tourism marketplace in the Northern Territory. The research considers two aspects: the first is the diversity of trips taken to the Northern Territory which feature fishing as an activity (trip patterns); and the second is the industry response to the market in terms of the structure of the product mix and marketing strategies (industrial organization) of one of the big-river fishing destinations in the Territory's Top End. Data from the Northern Territory Travel Monitor (2000-04) are used to describe trip patterns and a case study of the Daly River is used to analyse industrial organization.
