| Queensland's Nature-based Tourism |
The new strategy provides a roadmap for growing nature-based tourism while protecting the remarkable environments, communities and cultural connections that make Queensland unique.
With its rainforests, reefs, beaches, islands, wetlands, mountains and outback landscapes, Queensland offers an extraordinary diversity of natural experiences. The strategy recognises these assets as a foundation of the state's visitor economy, identity and international appeal.
A Roadmap for Queensland Nature Tourism
The Nature-based Tourism Strategy 2026–2029 outlines how Tourism and Events Queensland will support the Queensland Government's vision for the state to become a world leader in ecotourism.
The strategy aligns with Destination 2045, providing a long-term direction for Queensland tourism while focusing on actions that can strengthen nature-based experiences over the next three years.
The approach acknowledges that successful nature tourism depends on more than attracting visitors. Protecting the natural environment and supporting the communities connected to these destinations are central to creating a sustainable visitor economy.
Celebrating Queensland's Natural Assets

Visitors can experience the Great Barrier Reef, ancient rainforests, spectacular national parks, tropical islands, rugged coastlines and vast outback landscapes, often within the same state.
These environments provide opportunities for hiking, wildlife encounters, marine adventures, scenic journeys, camping, wellness experiences and other forms of responsible nature-based travel.
The new strategy aims to build on these world-class natural assets and encourage tourism experiences that allow visitors to connect more deeply with Queensland's landscapes.
Respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Connections

The strategy recognises these longstanding cultural connections as an important part of Queensland's tourism story.
For travellers, Indigenous-led experiences can provide meaningful opportunities to understand Country, culture, history and traditional knowledge while supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tourism businesses and communities.
Growing Tourism While Protecting Nature
The future of nature-based tourism depends on maintaining the quality of the environments visitors come to experience.
The strategy provides a framework for tourism growth that considers environmental protection, community benefits and sustainable destination development.
This balance is increasingly important as travellers seek authentic experiences in nature while becoming more conscious of the environmental impact of travel.
By encouraging responsible tourism development, Queensland can strengthen its reputation as a destination where memorable visitor experiences and environmental stewardship work together.
