Bundaberg Tourism has really held our hand as we have taken our first steps into the world of tourism by opening up our coral farm to visitors. They have provided invaluable advice, important connections, and been integral in helping us get the word out about our tours.

They truly are champions for all of the tourism operators in this region and key in driving visitors to Bundaberg and surrounding regions.

From the first time I contacted Katherine about our ideas for a Indigenous cultural tour in the Bundaberg region, we have received such fantastic support from Bundaberg Tourism. Going into a market that we didn’t really have much experience in, It was pretty nerve wracking, but we knew that we had people that we could lean on, to get support, ideas and expert advice.

One thing we knew that we had to do was to market ourselves professionally. Again we reached out to the team to see what their ideas were. We loved them! That’s why we engaged Bundaberg Tourism to be able to deliver our marketing strategy. The team really took the time to learn about us. Us as individuals, us as an organisation, us as a community. They did not hesitate when we said we wanted to have a meeting in our office, in nature, in the bush. The time spent getting to know us and our why's really reflects in our marketing strategy and the results so far we are super excited about!

All the BT team are so welcoming and accepting. We have a dream to be able to educate people on the Indigenous history of the Bundaberg area and now this is becoming a reality. We really appreciate all the time that the team has dedicated into our business especially Katherine, Connie , Grace and Ellie.
