Officially launching the exhibit today, Queensland Minster for Tourism and Major Events, the Honourable Kate Jones MP, welcomed the new-look Tiger Island as a world-class, iconic attraction for Queensland. Ms Jones said Dreamworld’s new Tiger Island was a major new tourism drawcard for the Gold Coast. “This is a world class animal exhibit providing animal conservation through responsible tourism,” she said. “I congratulate Dreamworld for delivering on their vision combining tiger conservation and tourism development. This exhibit will attract more visitors to Dreamworld and the Gold Coast, supporting jobs and the local tourism economy.” Gold Coast Deputy Mayor, Councillor Donna Gates said the new Tiger Island would further position the city as a leading holiday destination that is constantly evolving with fresh new product to attract more visitors and keep them coming back again and again. Dreamworld CEO Craig Davidson said the reinvigoration of Tiger Island would ensure the park retained its leading role in the global race to save tigers in the wild. “The redevelopment of Tiger Island is a significant milestone for Dreamworld and a wonderful gift for our tigers and their wild cousins as we celebrate the 21st anniversary of Tiger Island,” said Mr Davidson. “Turning the spotlight on conservation, visitors to this amazing new conservation precinct will be able to feel closer to our tigers than ever before, encouraging empathy and educating guests on the plight of tigers in the wild.

  • Indigenous Tourism to Highlight First Nations Tourism Experiences and Events in Queensland
    Welcome to the Year of INDIGENOUS 2020 TOURISM IMAGE: CAIRNS INDIGENOUS ART FAIR, CAIRNS AND GREAT BARRIER REEF INTRODUCTION Queensland has hundreds of clan groups and each has its own unique culture, values and lore. As far up as the Torres Strait Islands and down to the South East corner, there is something new for every visitor to learn and connect with. In 2020 we celebrate the Year of Indigenous Tourism to highlight First Nations tourism experiences and events in Queensland. Over the last 18 months a dedicated Indigenous Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) engagement process resulted in the Queensland First Nations Tourism Plan (QFNTP) with a vision for the future of First Nations tourism in Queensland. The Year of Indigenous Tourism is the first step in this plan. This year the Queensland Government is launching new initiatives to develop the Indigenous tourism industry and create jobs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. In turn, the state will be better equipped to meet the needs of visitors seeking authentic experiences and an understanding of local cultures, allowing them to leave feeling enriched by, and connected to, the state of Queensland. IMAGE: PAMAGIRRI ABORIGINAL EXPERIENCE KURANDA, CAIRNS AND GREAT BARRIER REEF What it means The Year of Indigenous Tourism logo seeks to express the story of cultures through its layers. Unfolding each layer we can begin to understand the deeper meaning and the truth of the country, told through the unique stories and continual presence of diverse cultural groups throughout our ever-changing Queensland landscape. From the sea of the Torres Straits, to the outback Aboriginal clans, there are many diverse layers of stories and culture to learn from.
