Marc ‘Aussie-Stone’ is passionate and indefatiguable in his efforts to communicate the realities of bringing visitors to country areas and building rural and regional tourism…he’s had a lot of experience!

New Rural Resort Development System

Marc has worked for years on rural development issues and in 2008 the Federal Government granted his team a National Innovations Patent for a ‘New Rural Resort Development System’. This includes the Australian manufacture of many special visitor services.

The system was designed specifically to assist important rural regions such as Lithgow, Oberon, Bathurst regions to attract more Australian and overseas visitors for long stay, big spending holidays.

Now Marc is inviting people to attend a Symposium in Lithgow where they can listen, have their say and have their questions answered. There are also several prizes on offer..
