Department of Tourism, Innovation and Sport

🚧 Following recent changes to departmental responsibilities, the Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation now administers Tourism Grants in the Queensland Government. Work is underway to update our websites. 🚧

Tourism is a major contributor to the Queensland economy and a major employer state-wide, hence growth in tourism is a critical driver for job creation. The Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation has primary responsibility within the Queensland Government for initiatives to strengthen and grow tourism within the State in partnership with the industry, and for facilitating all government activity related to the development of tourism.

We have a vision that, by 2032, Queensland will be Australia’s destination of choice for domestic and global visitors seeking the world’s best experiences. That’s why we’re investing in quality tourism products, attractions and experiences and making the most of our unique, competitive tourism advantages.
