Solution
Building an in-depth understanding of regional characteristics through extensive consultation with advisory board members and key stakeholders, RPS developed socio-economic profiles for Turangi and its broader regions.
From there, our team used the profile findings to develop an economic strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis for the area. This research has informed the development of a detailed Economic Development Strategy for Turangi, including action plan strategies for bringing the regionโs economic development visions to life.
