News & Announcements October 2019

The Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) has today launched the 2019-20 Tourism Industry Business Capability Program (TIBCP).  More than 70 activities including mentoring, workshops and trade activities are available to Queensland tourism businesses to register today.


 

What is the Program? QTIC’s Young Professionals Mentoring Program offers a competitive edge for employees working in the tourism and hospitality industry who are 35 years or younger. Participants gain professional development, knowledge and skills through the sharing of information and experience, matched with a senior industry professional.

It is with great pleasure to share with you the draft First Nations Tourism Potential Plan (FNTPP) for your review and feedback.

The FNTPP has been developed through extensive consultation with First Nations communities, tourism businesses, entrepreneurs and representative organisations. We are grateful to everyone who has contributed to the development of the FNTPP. Your contribution ensures the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within the tourism sector are heard, and together we can drive a positive future for First Nations tourism in Queensland.

Thanks to all who have travelled great distances to attend the consultation sessions. Thanks also to our Foundation Bunjis, and the Strategic Advancement Group (yup, the SAG!), for your support and belief in what we are achieving.

The Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) welcomed students and peers from the Province of Nusa Tenggara Timor (NTT) in Indonesia who are undertaking a Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality Training Program with Griffith University.

QTIC Chief Executive Daniel Gschwind delivered an informative talk to discuss tourism in Australia and specifically QTIC’s role and an advocate and ‘voice for tourism’ to support sustainable tourism development.
