Local Tourism Organisations

There are four Local Tourism Organisations (LTOs) in Tropical North Queensland which target grass roots industry development, in-region trade and media support and collaborative marketing investment. LTOs liaise with their Regional Tourism Organisation and state bodies on behalf of their members.

TTNQ shares a Memorandum of Understanding with each of the LTOs in Tropical North Queensland.

Local Tourism Associations

At a local level, there are a number Local Tourism Associations (LTA’s) across Tropical North Queensland. Each LTA conducts different activities for their members. By becoming a member of the LTA, you will have access to networking, cooperative planning and marketing activities they conduct.  The LTA’s work closely with their relevant LTO (Local Tourism Organisation), which in turn provides access to the RTO (Regional Tourism Organisation) activities and opportunities, being Tourism Tropical North Queensland.
