Australian Regional Tourism has announced that the Queensland city of Mackay will host the 2024 Australian Regional Tourism Convention from 9th to 11th October.

Home to Australia's longest stretch of subtropical rainforest and is famous for its history as one of the nation's largest sugarcane farming regions, Mackay presents endless opportunities to explore untouched nature and the region's multitude of breathtaking and pristine national parks.

With Mackay Regional Council acknowledged for the elevation of their local tourism industry, fostering economic growth and enhancing the region’s tourism product, every sector of the tourism industry is invited to attend the convention and take the opportunity to collaborate and investigate solutions to shared challenges while shaping the future of Australia’s regional tourism.

The Australian Regional Tourism Convention is aimed at local councils, regional tourism organisations, tourism professionals and government personnel wanting to contribute to the future of regional tourism in Australia.

Regarded as the most significant annual event for anyone engaged in regional tourism, the convention provides delegates the opportunity to connect, share ideas and engage in robust discussions around opportunities and challenges being faced by the industry.

The event is made possible with the support of numerous sponsors who share a common vision of advancing the regional tourism sector and strengthening Australia's regional communities.

The 2024 Australian Regional Tourism Convention promises to be the most significant learning and networking opportunity of the year for the regional tourism industry.
