Part 10/11:
A Global Perspective
When comparing Tasmania to other low-density regions globally, parallels emerge. For instance, Canada's Northern Territories and sparsely populated Iceland share challenges of economic dependency on natural resources and the implementation of tourism-driven strategies. Both regions demonstrate that low population does not hinder opportunities when natural and cultural assets are leveraged effectively.
However, Tasmania maintains a distinctive edge due to its proximity to mainland Australia, tapping into larger economic markets while cherishing its own unique history evident in indigenous and convict traditions.
