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.

 

What can you do

TTNQ is in the process of developing a ten-year Destination Management Plan as our roadmap to sustainable tourism growth towards 2032 and beyond.

We have appointed consultant Krista Hauritz to facilitate regional consultation workshops, she has a wealth of experience in tourism management and community engagement.

From your feedback in the workshops, and with the help of your Local Tourism Organisation or Local Government representative, Krista will work on a plan to define 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 Great Barrier Reef is a wondrous place full of wild and whacky creatures like this baby octopus, and we personally think that there's nothing better to see on World Oceans Day today 🐙🪸

If there's one waterfall that's work the walk, it's #BehanaGorge 🌴 Grab your shoes and your swimmers for this 6km return trip just a 30 minute drive south of #Cairns 👣🌿🚙

Mount Hypipamee National Park is calling! 🗣 One of the main features is this deep, cylindrical volcanic pipe with a lake at the bottom covered in green waterweed 🍃 There are two walking tracks here - one leads to this viewing platform & takes roughly 30 minutes to complete and the other leads to #DinnerFalls 💦 We suggest doing both for an 'explosive' adventure 😉🌋
