Regional Tourism Infrastructure Fund: Round 2

By supporting innovative and sustainable tourism projects, RTIF aims to position Queensland as a premier travel destination, stimulate economic activity, and create jobs both during project construction and through ongoing operations.

RTIF is designed to create new or enhanced tourism infrastructure and experiences, increase visitor expenditure and numbers, encourage longer stays, and improve the dispersal of visitors across Queensland’s regions. It aligns with Destination 2045 by fostering the development of tourism infrastructure that enhances visitor experiences, increases regional tourism capacity, and drives sustainable economic growth. Through this initiative, the Queensland Government is ensuring the state remains competitive and attractive to both domestic and international visitors – lifting Queensland’s profile nationally and internationally – while delivering long-term economic value and supporting the growth of regional communities.

To complement the Tourism Icons Investment Fund under the Destination 2045: Delivering Queensland’s Tourism Future (Destination 2045), RTIF seeks to address critical gaps in tourism infrastructure, strengthen Queensland’s tourism offerings and appeal, and deliver long-term economic benefits to regional communities.
