The Integrated Cultural Heritage and Cultural Tourism Strategy for Kingston is based on two key actions: 1. Improve the cultural experiences and products. By focusing on discovery and
experience, the Strategy suggests ways to identify the histories and stories that could and should be shared, to enhance the existing heritage asset base and to offer residents and visitors new and improved cultural experiences and products.
2. Make these cultural experiences and products market-ready. This means several things within the Kingston context:
• Improving the cultural heritage experiences and products in terms of subject
matter, content and delivery, and then developing those same experiences and products so they are more visitor-focused;
• Improving the quality of operations of the content providers; • Clustering the experiences and products to respond to market preferences
and needs; • Bundling the experiences and products as appropriate and marketing them
effectively.
