What we do

TTNQ has ambitious goals which we will achieve by working diligently with our 2023-2025 Strategic Direction. We are collaborating with the Tropical North Queensland tourism industry to master our destination’s story and are working with our partners to tell that story through digital, consumer, trade, media and travel industry channels.

Our marketing, communications and partnership strategies are priorities as we explore new digital and content opportunities that are changing the way leisure and business markets consume tourism products. We initiate high-level conversations with major airlines, tourism bodies, journalists, influencers, trade and online search engines to drive visitors to the region.

Mostly, we continue our hard work to add value to our members, in the hope we can lead the way for Australian tourism marketing best practice.

If there's one thing we know about those lovely tropical raindrops, it's that it sometimes they make everything just a little more magical! ✨🌴

Winter is only a few months away, you know what that means? It's nearly minke whale season!! 🐋

Did you know that Tropical North Queensland is the only known predictable aggregation in the world & the only place where people are able to swim alongside this majestic animal - book a tour with @mikeballdive @divers_den @prodivecairns or @spiritoffreedomcairns to experience it for yourself 🩵

POV you're playing passenger princess on the way to @lizardisland ✈️👸

This stunning island is renowned for its diving, with the world-famous Cod Hole on the northern tip of Ribbon Reef just 50 minutes from the Island 🐠 Here you might find some friendly grey reef sharks, schooling sweetlips & a dazzling array of tropical reef fish, maybe even the site’s namesake, the Potato Cod 🤿

While you're there, don't forget to make your way over to the Lizard Island Research Station – a coral reef research facility that is recognised as the major island-based research facility on the @gbrmarinepark! 🌊
