Nature-based tourism and ecotourism in Queensland

Queensland is one of the most naturally diverse places on Earth, with 5 of Australia's 20 World Heritage Areas and over 1,300 national parks, marine parks, state forests and other protected areas.

Visiting national parks is one of the most popular activities for domestic and international visitors to Queensland. This gives our nature-based tourism and ecotourism sectors a unique competitive advantage. There is significant potential to create future jobs, support local economies, empower First Nations' communities, and unlock new opportunities for operators.
