"Tourism Talk" Member's Promotion Opportunity

In partnership with the Tablelander and Advertiser newspapers, TTT members are invited to be showcased as part of our “Tourism Talk” monthly initiative.

One member per month will receive the exposure of their property by providing a Call to Action to prompt readers to take action. We are looking for prize values of $100 or greater and in return you will be published in the newspaper with either two photos or one photo and logo. Ideal giveaways that may be considered would be dining vouchers, accommodation, entry to your attraction.

Expressions of interest for next edition of “Tourism Talk”
must be received no later than 15th April 2016.

Accepted offers will be advised by email and the voucher is required to be sent to the TTT office prior to publication.

Update on Atherton Tablelands Trails Campaign

The draft content for the 6 Tableland Trails itineraries has now being completed and the artwork is now being created. Following the review of content and design, final artwork will be sent to the printer.  

The lightbox displays are in production and once completed will be placed in shop fronts of high traffic tour desks.  The Trail Spotlights have been very well subscribed by members with over half of the spots been taken. 

As a member of TTT, if your product fits within the trail theme, TTT will endeavour to feature your product. If you are an accommodation property, then one of the key objectives of this concept is to promote an overnight stay by combining one or more of the trails.

Following the initial distribution of these itineraries, the next stage of this initiative is to work with members to develop bookable packages to complement these themed trail itineraries.
