First Nations tourism

Unique First Nations tourism offerings are essential to attracting visitors to Queensland so we can grow our industry and create jobs in our regions.

Growing Indigenous Tourism in Queensland Fund

The Growing Indigenous Tourism in Queensland Fund was delivered to support the development of new and sustainable Indigenous tourism products and experiences that will encourage high value travellers to visit Queensland.

Our Country Advisory Service

The Our Country Advisory Service provides targeted support, advice, toolkits and voice to emerging and established Indigenous tourism operators, sectoral aligned businesses, and community owned organisations.

Minjerribah Futures

The Queensland Government is supporting the transition of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) from its past reliance on sand mining to a new future as a leading destination for cultural and eco-tourism.

The transition program, known as Minjerribah Futures, rests on a foundation of Quandamooka culture and sustainability.

Strategic Indigenous Tourism Projects

The National Indigenous Australians Agency has committed $3 million co-matched funding with the Queensland Government for a total of $6 million to be spent on Strategic Indigenous Tourism Projects.

Indigenous tourism bodies

There are 2 Indigenous peak bodies in Queensland, who have emerged in 2021-2022, to provide a self determined voice, to guide the growth of the Indigenous tourism sector in Queensland.

We are working with IITOQ and QFNTC to support development of the Indigenous tourism industry in Queensland.
