Destination Management Plan

Tourism Toward 2032
Destination Management Plan

 

Tourism Tropical North Queensland, as the Regional Tourism Organisation, brings together the industry and the community to increase the visitor economy through destination marketing, partnering in the region with local tourism organisations and over 666 industry members.

The region has geographical coverage of 20% of Queensland, stretching from Cardwell in the south to the Torres Strait in the north and out west to the Northern Territory border.

As one of the world’s most inspiring nature-based destinations, it is the gateway to hundreds of accessible experiences set on the stage of the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s oldest rainforest and the outback. Inhabited by an ancient culture and shared by passionate locals.

 

Thanks for your input

After more than 26 workshops across the region, TTNQ have appointed David Inches from Evolve Tourism to help us finalise the Destination Management Plan.

From your feedback received, and with the help of your Local Tourism Organisation or Local Government representative, the plan is coming together defining your specific region’s long-term vision and ensure all the community and stakeholders are committed to the deliverables with an agreed understanding of what success looks like.

The Draft Destination Management Plan should be completed by June 2024, and we will let you know that the draft is out and we welcome your feedback.

For any questions, please contact our Industry Relations Manager, Rob Dean.
