Many Australian tourism ventures today promote Australian Indigenous Biocultural Knowledge (AIBK) (Pert, Ens, Locke, Clarke, Packer & Turpin, 2015) through bush-tucker tours, interpretive displays in cultural centres, arts and crafts, etc. with the aim of fostering economic growth (Clark, 2002, 2014; Whitford, Bell & Watkins, 2010). However, engagement with AIBK has not proved straightforward, especially regarding Indigenous community involvement (Fuller, Buultjens & Cummings, 2005). This paper examines the factors relevant to success and failure in AIBK product development and promotion in Australia by reviewing materials from 10 sites in Southwest (SW) Victoria and 2 sites in the Northern Territory (NT).
