News & Announcements June 2018

The 2018-19 Queensland Budget has recognised the tourism industry as one of the state’s major economic drivers, committing in excess of $180 million of additional funding – over the budget forecast period – to support public and private infrastructure, environmental initiatives, investment in events and market development.

The QTIC Prize for Innovation in Tourism is back and bigger than ever.

‘Beat Plastic Pollution’ was the theme for World Environment Day in 2018 and was a prominent topic at the QTIC event, including the inspiring 10-year-old Straw No More campaigner, Molly Steer.  A second ‘hot issue’ for tourism operators from around the state was our ability to make the most of Queensland’s nature-based tourism opportunities.

It’s been more than 12 months in the making, but finally QTIC’s new membership structure and new logo are ready!
