Why your business will benefit from membership?
InfluenceTourism operators are affected by a large range of government policies, laws and regulations. The future of our industry is influenced in no small measure by decisions that governments and government agencies make – occasionally without recognising the impact such decisions may have on our industry. Tourism must remain vigilant and continuously present its case in every policy industry, QTIC maintains a consistent and credible industry presence at every level of government.

Queensland Tourism Awards
The Queensland Tourism Awards judging is coordinated by QTIC and involves a panel of 18 judges and a Chairperson. The benefits of entering the tourism awards are not just confined to winners. By addressing the business-focused criteria in each category, operators put themselves through a rigorous process of self-analysis that supports their business planning and provides an accurate record of their business performance each year.
