CHILDERS MEMBERSHIPS

Childers is an important waypoint on the Bruce Highway and the southern gateway to the Bundaberg and Southern Great Barrier Reef regions.

Whether you're a microbusiness, an established tourism leader or a local company who welcomes visitors alongside residents, we invite all businesses in Childers to join over 150 member organisations in partnership with Bundaberg Tourism as we work to make our home a leading Queensland destination of choice for tourists from around Australia and the world.

Bundaberg Tourism is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that works for the sustainable growth of Bundaberg Region’s tourism industry for the economic benefit of our members and community.  We play a role that no others are able to do: bringing together industry, community and all three levels of Government at a destination level to champion a positive future for the sector.

Membership with Bundaberg Tourism helps us to continue to promote our region and support the business community, which helps drive business through your doors to build a stronger economy for the whole region.

ARE YOU IN TOURISM?

Tourism touches so many businesses across our region - not just traditional tourism businesses like accommodation, tours and attractions, but also more general businesses including retailers, the hospitality sector, and service providers like fuel stations, taxis and transport.

Visitors spend money in our cafes, cellar doors and farm gates, clothing boutiques, camping stores, chemists and supermarkets, supporting thousands of jobs across a variety of sectors, including agriculture.

Any business that directly provides goods or services to people who are undertaking business, pleasure and leisure activities away from home and within the Bundaberg and/or North Burnett regions.

Tourism truly is everybody's business!
