Mackay will play host to the 2024 Australian Regional Tourism Convention, taking place from 9th to 11th October 2024. This announcement signifies the council's commitment to advancing regional tourism and fortifying the area's tourism industry, driving economic growth and opportunities.
“We are excited to be working with Mackay Regional Council to deliver the 2024 ART Convention,” said Joel Chadwick, Australian Regional Tourism Chair.
"The convention is renowned as the preeminent event for industry stakeholders to share insights, network, and collaborate. With the recent surge in attendance, attracting over 200 delegates in recent years, it is evident that the interest in growing Australia's regional tourism sector is on the rise," continued Mr Chadwick.
Mackay Regional Council Mayor Greg Williamson said it was an exciting coup for the region to host this prestigious event.
“We know that Mackay is the best place in Australia to live, work and invest, and what better way to show off our fantastic region than by hosting the Australian Regional Tourism Convention,” Mayor Williamson said.
“Our tourism businesses are integral in driving investment into our communities, supporting sustainable growth and job creation,” he said.
“We have some outstanding, not to mention award-winning, tourism businesses here and council is committed to supporting them to shine so they can promote the liveability of the region.”
The Australian Regional Tourism Convention is a must-attend event for local councils, regional tourism organisations, tourism professionals and government personnel wanting to contribute to the future of regional tourism in Australia. 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.
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.
