Bundaberg Tourism plays a role that no others are able to do: bringing together industry, community and all three levels of Government at a destination level to champion a positive future for the sector.

Membership with Bundaberg Tourism helps us to continue to promote our region and support the business community, which helps drive business through your doors to build a stronger economy for the Bundaberg region.

As a partner of Bundaberg Tourism, you are a key stakeholder and contributor to how we do business and how the tourism industry influences economic, cultural, social and environmental outcomes for the broader region. We can’t wait to tackle this with you, to co-design a visionary and progressive action plan for the Bundaberg region.

WHO WE REPRESENT

As a membership-based organisation, Bundaberg Tourism works in partnership with over 150 member businesses.

These include traditional tourism businesses like accommodation, tours and attractions, but also include more general businesses including retailers, the hospitality sector, and service providers like fuel stations, taxis and transport.

Visitors spend money in our cafes, cellar doors and farm gates, clothing boutiques, camping stores, chemists and supermarkets, supporting thousands of jobs across a variety of sectors, including agriculture.

Tourism also has benefits for environmental protection and scientific research, because visitors who have personally seen sea turtles, manta rays and humpback whales in their natural environment are far more likely to become advocates for these majestic animals in their everyday lives.

In a nutshell, any business that directly provides goods or services to people who are undertaking business, pleasure and leisure activities away from home and within the Bundaberg and/or North Burnett regions.

Tourism truly is everybody's business!

Member Testimonials

From the first time I contacted Katherine about our ideas for a Indigenous cultural tour in the Bundaberg region, we have received such fantastic support from Bundaberg Tourism. Going into a market that we didn’t really have much experience in, It was pretty nerve wracking, but we knew that we had people that we could lean on, to get support, ideas and expert advice.

One thing we knew that we had to do was to market ourselves professionally. Again we reached out to the team to see what their ideas were. We loved them! That’s why we engaged Bundaberg Tourism to be able to deliver our marketing strategy. The team really took the time to learn about us. Us as individuals, us as an organisation, us as a community. They did not hesitate when we said we wanted to have a meeting in our office, in nature, in the bush. The time spent getting to know us and our why's really reflects in our marketing strategy and the results so far we are super excited about!

All the BT team are so welcoming and accepting. We have a dream to be able to educate people on the Indigenous history of the Bundaberg area and now this is becoming a reality. We really appreciate all the time that the team has dedicated into our business especially Katherine, Connie , Grace and Ellie.

We have had the privilege of working with Bundaberg Tourism for some time now. During this time, we have grown from a small holiday park company with a park in Bargara, to a national company owning parks across Australia, including two holiday parks in the Bundaberg region.

Throughout our transition, Bundaberg Tourism has always been there to promote, support and cheer us on – they’re our biggest fans and the feeling is mutual!
