Tourism is the lifeblood of our regions, supporting one in six jobs across Tropical North Queensland, so planning for our future success is vital. Vital not only to our economy, but to our communities, our environment and our cultural heritage.

TNQ 2045, our Destination Management Plan aligns our ambitions for the future to those of the State Tourism Strategy Destination 2045 and set out our bold ambition to be the #1 ecotourism destination in Australia and a world leader in adventure and regenerative tourism.
Through greater connectivity, events that support year round visitation, investment in ecotourism experiences, a well-funded brand and marketing effort and backing our industry to respond to the changing environment we believe our region can grow to be a $10B a year economic contributor in 2045.
The Draft TNQ 2045 is out for consultation until July 30th, please share your thoughts and feedback here.
TTNQ’s draft Destination Management Plan is currently under review to ensure it aligns with the 20 Year Tourism Plan developed by the State Government.
For reference view the 2021 Tropical North Queensland Destination Tourism Plan.
