    The Gippsland Tourism Industry Leadership Program
    (GTILP) is a ground breaking industry development
    initiative.
    Auspiced by Destination Gippsland Ltd, the annual
    program provides a diverse range of businesses with
    the opportunity to develop vision, passion and drive.
    This not only helps them in their own business, but
    aims to provide inspirational training and motivation
    to build ongoing leadership for the regions tourism
    industry.
    The broad goals of the program are to:
    Develop leadership relevant to the tourism industry
    Build individual leadership skills
    Build leadership networks
    Strengthen leadership capability within the industry

    Participants are required to apply for admission to


    the program. They are not only required to be very
    switched-on, but to also be able to see the bigger
    picture.
    Its expected that they will form an ongoing network and will play a key role in providing positive
    leadership in their part of Gippsland.

    Expectations of the GTILP are:


    For the participant:
    - Confidence, personal gain, new skills and
    knowledge, building capacity to achieve in their
    life and learning positive leadership.

    The annual GTILP comprises six full-day workshops,


    held every three weeks, a mid-year reflection and
    an opening and closing two-day residential.

    For the participants business

    The program imparts theoretical knowledge as well


    as practical learning, but not in a text book or
    lecture room sense. It involves much discussion,
    debate and conversation.

    - Developing networks and being with operators


    with the same mind set.
    For the participants community

    - Impacting with their Regional, Local and Business


    Tourism Associations (RTA, LTA and BTA) and
    supporting the whole of the Community
    Regional benefits

    - Unity, commonality, bridging gaps with a unified


    regional agenda

    A variety of locations, venues, themes and activities


    are integral to the success of the program.
    Most of it is concerned with personal challenge and
    reflection, rather than strategy and technique.
    Each workshop involves two to four specialist
    speakers who are recognised leaders in their field,
    plus personal development exercises.

    The concept of the GTILP has assisted with the


    development of the Melbourne Tourism Industry
    Leadership Program, and has inspired plans to
    launch the Grampians Tourism Industry Leadership
    Program in 2010.
    There has also been considerable interest to
    develop a leadership program in Western
    Australia, Queensland and Northern Territory.

    Key findings:
    Effective tourism destinations need strong

    and visionary leadership to thrive.

    There needs to be vision and leadership

    displayed by the industry from the coalface


    to the regional level. One does not work
    well without the other.
    Some people are born leaders, while many

    others need some nurturing to bring out


    latent ability.
    Techniques for community leadership and

    facilitation can be taught, but good


    leadership programs are more about self
    development of personal and interpersonal
    skills.
