State and Territory Tourism Industry Councils work directly with operators in their region, providing support through administering the Quality Tourism programs, training, mentoring and broader industry development. They also manage their respective Tourism Awards programs, celebrating excellence and innovation within their states and territories, the sole pathway to the national level awards programs.
State and Territory Tourism Industry Councils provide a vital voice for local operators, representing their interests to government, industry bodies, and stakeholders. By collaborating with ATIC, they help shape national initiatives, influence policy, and ensure the unique needs of each region are considered in decisions that affect the tourism industry.
