Why do we do it?

A thriving tourism industry is the foundation for a thriving community. Every tourist dollar that is spent in the area supports local business of all kinds, keeps locals in business providing jobs in both the tourism industry and supporting industries. Without a healthy tourism industry, the Whitsundays would not be the same place that we love and call home today.

Becoming a member of Tourism Whitsundays is beneficial to all businesses in and around the Whitsundays. If your business is not directly involved in the tourism industry, there is still a very good chance that it benefits indirectly.

Businesses that benefit directly from tourism:

Airlines, resorts, accommodation houses, boat operators, restaurants and cafes, supermarkets, retail stores, transport and rental cars, health and beauty, adventure activities etc.
