Queensland Tourism Industry Council - QTIC

The voice of Queensland's tourism and hospitality industry We represent the interests of the state’s more than 60,000 tourism businesses.

The Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) is Queensland’s peak tourism industry body and the leading advocate for Queensland’s tourism and hospitality sector. As a not-for-profit, membership-based organisation, QTIC provides members with a voice to government, networking opportunities, industry updates and access to unique business programs.

Brisbane 2032 is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Queensland and we need to be ready to welcome the world.

With an estimated 15,000 additional rooms needed by 2032, accelerating investment in new hotels must remain the priority. Permanent accommodation creates jobs, supports year-round visitation and delivers a lasting legacy well beyond the Games.

But hotel development takes time, and we cannot afford to leave opportunities on the table. Temporary options such as floating accommodation, including cruise ships, have been used successfully at other major global events and should be properly explored as part of the broader accommodation mix.

This is not about choosing cruise ships over hotels. It is about thinking differently, planning early and using every credible option to ensure Queensland can meet peak demand and fully capitalise on 2032.

QTIC will continue advocating for the investment needed to get more hotels out of the ground, alongside practical solutions that ensure Queensland’s tourism and events industry is ready for the Games and positioned for long-term growth.

Tourism students from Bundaberg State High School got a taste of our industry in Brisbane last week! ✨

Students swapped the classroom for a hands-on industry experience, including a behind-the-scenes look at Crystalbrook Vincent, pizza and mocktail making, and plenty of conversations with people working in our industry. 🍹

They wrapped up their visit with a scavenger hunt through the city, caught up with Young Tourism Leaders and stopped by QTIC HQ.

For QTIC, it was a great few days helping students discover where a career in tourism could take them. Learn more about how we’re helping build a future workforce. https://hubs.la/Q04t8d280

There's no better way to discover a tourism career than stepping behind the scenes. 🌟

Recently, QTIC was on the ground in Townsville, introducing students and job seekers to the incredible people, places and careers that make our tourism industry so special.

After meeting with Year 10 students at our Townsville Career Roadshow, we teamed up with the Local Jobs Program for a day on Magnetic Island. Guided by the team at Mi Ride, students explored the island, met the friendly faces at Bounce Koala and went behind the scenes at Peppers Magnetic Island to see firsthand the diverse careers that power unforgettable visitor experiences.

Every destination has a story. This week was about introducing more people to the rewarding careers behind those stories.

Big things are ahead for the RNA Showgrounds! Nearly $290 million will transform this much-loved Brisbane icon ahead of 2032, with a bigger Main Arena, new grandstand and major accessibility upgrades on the way.

We welcome this investment and the opportunities it will create for tourism. It’s an exciting boost for Brisbane and another reason for visitors to experience Queensland.

After 150 years of bringing the country and city together, it’s great to see the Ekka’s future secured for generations to come.

Digital capability is no longer a nice to have. It's helping tourism businesses save time and connect with more visitors.

Over the past two years, QTIC has been proud to deliver the Tourism Business Digital Adaption Program on behalf of the Queensland Government, helping almost 1,500 tourism operators build their digital skills and confidence.

Whether it's attractions like Amaze World or family-run tourism businesses in regional Queensland, $3.83M in rebates has helped operators invest in digital tools that save time, make life a little easier and enhance the visitor experience.

A huge thank you to every business that took part. It's been rewarding to see so many operators embrace new technology and continue finding smarter ways to grow.

Our QTIC Board and team recently headed west to Longreach and Winton to catch up with local tourism and events operators and hear what’s happening across the region. 🌾

From aviation access and workforce challenges to rising insurance costs and infrastructure, these conversations help us better understand what’s happening on the ground and keep Outback Queensland’s priorities front and centre in our advocacy.

A big thank you to Longreach Regional Council, Winton Shire Council and everyone who made time to meet with us, and to Qantas Founders Museum for inviting us out west and bringing industry together.
