Co-creating regional tourism futures
The Resilient and Sustainable Tourism cluster collaborates with local communities, tourism operators, and visitors to create exceptional, place-based tourism experiences in regional Australia. By combining expertise in tourism, planning, design, and economics, we deliver innovative, high-impact solutions that drive sustainable employment and economic growth. Since 2016, we’ve helped generate over $13 million in value for Queensland-based partners and communities.
