The NSTF was accompanied by a detailed Action Plan that identifies solutions to key challenges and strategic actions required to ensure a sustainable future for the sector. This Action Plan was developed as a tool for the Government, industry and other tourism stakeholders to focus their attention on the key changes, initiatives and projects that need to occur in the first three years to stimulate sustainable tourism growth in the country. The Action Plan is designed to help the public and private sectors align with the four Goals and the ten Priorities of the NSTF. The successful implementation of the initial three-year Action Plan (2024-2027) will require the collective efforts of all tourism stakeholders and by necessity the Action Plan will remain dynamic and change over the lifetime of the NSTF. The Action Plan envisages a number of opportunities that could result in bankable private sector investments, including: - Developing platforms to enable tourism MSMEs to develop business continuity plans and build contingency funds; - Develop and expand insurance options for tourism businesses; - Investments in climate resilience; - Investments in sustainable infrastructure to support sustainable tourism expansion; - Public infrastructure including roads, airports, wharves, jetties and communication connectivity, including air and maritime connectivity to outer islands; - Niche and experiential growth segments such as luxury, health, wellness and medical tourism, meetings, incentives, conferences and events (MICE), retirement villages, sports tourism, educational tourism, film productions, experiential and immersive tourism; - Cruise- and yacht-specific infrastructure; - Public private partnership investment in the preservation and restoration of heritage sites, buildings, and landmarks; - Logistics infrastructure to better link tourism enterprises with domestic sources of food; - Investments in greening of existing hotels and tourism buildings; and - Alternative transportation services such as hybrid and/or electric vehicles and speedboats within the tourism context, among others.
