As a legacy of the Year of Indigenous Tourism QTIC has been and will continue to offer free entry-level membership to First Nations operators throughout Qld. Since we introduced this complimentary offer we are pleased to have welcomed 20 new First Nations businesses on board to the QTIC fold. We take this opportunity to welcome you all, and we certainly look forward to working with you now and into the future. If any other Indigenous tourism businesses in Queensland would like to become QTIC members please contact Rhonda Appo:

Unfortunately due to the current circumstances, the National NAIDOC Week has been postponed to a later date in the interest of protecting the health of community members. This means the QTIC Annual NAIDOC Corporate Breakfast has also been put on hold. While the date of NAIDOC is yet to be determined, we can confirm that QTIC will celebrate NAIDOC this year, and we are looking into alternate ways to host our celebrations.
