The Mt Barney Eco Basecamp application has been submitted to the Australian Government to seek funding.  Here’s the proud ‘father’, Innes Larkin, with his application. Good luck to all the applicants in the inaugural round of the TIRF funds.

Congratulations to the Xstrata Mount Isa Rotary Rodeo for your win at the Queensland Tourism Awards on Saturday night!

The federal government has just announced a new program -Tourism Industry Regional Development Fund (TIRF). 

If you’d like a QR code created for your business, just drop me an e-mail and I’ll get one organised for you.  They’re really handy for marketing and out-of-hours business, for example on the door of a Visitor Information Centre.

Don’t miss the opportunity to attend two great conferences in October.  The Australian Regional Tourism Network is hosting their conference in Tasmania promising good networking opportunities for those in regional tourism.  If you can make it to Cairns, Events Queensland is about to release the program for this year’s regional events conference from the 26th to the 28th October.  See you there!

If you’re interested in learning more on the art of grant writing, please join me at the Sport & Recreation Grant Writing Workshops in Toowoomba, Stanthorpe and Ipswich during March & April 2012

Welcome and thank you for visiting my new website. I have such a love and curiosity for the tourism and events industries and I hope to share my insights and projects with you through this website. There is still a bit of tweaking to be done, but have a wander through and I would love to know what you think. In the meantime, will be speaking at the 3rd Annual Regional Events Conference in Townsville, 11 to 13 November, discussing all things Grants at a workshop and panel discussion. Hope to see you there. Krista
