Growing Tourism Businesses in Cape York
Australian Small Business Advisory Services Programme - Northern Australia Tourism Initiative
The Northern Australia Tourism Initiative (NATI) is one of several new programmes arising out of the Our North, Our Future: White Paper on Developing Northern Australia.
Cape York Sustainable Futures (CYSF) was successful with its application for the ASBAS NATI programme, which will enable us to deliver low cost small business advisory and information services to tourism small businesses and tourism small business intenders in Cape York and the Torres Shire.
Until 30 June 2019, the CYSF NATI programme will support a range of service delivery mechanisms including:
Cape York businesses should have already received an email notice from CEO, Trish Butler in relation to this program, but if you haven’t heard from us, we would love to hear from you - contact details are below.
The Six Tourism Streams
Within each of the six tourism streams, there are a number of eligible activities which CYSF must provide, as outlined below.
CYSF is particularly pleased to be delivering the NATI programme, as our Tourism businesses and intenders, will be able to access low cost business advisory services and support, that otherwise is out of reach, too costly to be considered, or simply not available.
Please contact Rebecca Burke on 4053 2856 or at [email protected] for more information.
This project has been supported by the ASBAS Northern Australia Tourism Initiative, an Australian Government initiative.
The Tourism Plan was developed after broad consultation with stakeholders across the Cape, including Traditional Owners and Councils. It is a living document and will continue to evolve as the tourism industry and infrastructure in Cape York develop and new opportunities arise.
