Tourism Tropical North Queensland

The world’s first rideshare submarine has today been launched in a landmark partnership between Tourism and Events Queensland and Uber which will showcase the Great Barrier Reef like never before.

Virgin’s announcement that two of its return flights per week would be downsized will have minimal impact on the region as the 300 lost seats equate to about 0.3% of the total Cairns domestic capacity.

Luxurious accommodation, romantic glamping on the Great Barrier Reef and an Indigenous musical event are among the new offerings in Tropical North Queensland.

We recognise that the region has been challenged over the summer period, and over the past few weeks public attention has been drawn to the importance of tourism.

Karumba’s annual Barra and Blues Festival in May will be combined with the launch of an $8.5 million barramundi interpretive centre and the best fishing season in years.

A new domestic campaign has launched today to invite Australian holidaymakers to leave the stress of busy city life behind and reconnect with nature in Tropical North Queensland.

Tourism Tropical North Queensland (TTNQ) General Manager Rosie Douglas said millions of dollars of investment was underway in tourism and events infrastructure in Cairns.

Business Events Cairns & Great Barrier Reef will showcase the region’s capabilities to business event planners from around the world at the Asia-Pacific Incentives & Meetings Expo (AIME) in Melbourne on February 18-20.
