Tourism and the Visitor Economy

Welcome to the Cassowary Coast, where rainforests meet the sea and nature thrives.

Whether you're a local or visiting, we’re excited to share our incredible home with you.

Our region is home to two World Heritage sites: the Wet Tropics Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. These landscapes are not only globally significant but also hold deep cultural and spiritual meaning for First Nations people, who have cared for them for thousands of years.

As you explore our rainforests, swim in our waters, and visit our communities, we ask that you help protect the people, places, and cultures that make this region so special. Whether you're here for a day or a lifetime, we all have a role to play in preserving our unique environment and heritage.

Please travel safely, respect the land and its people, and be mindful of the wildlife you encounter. Your actions today will help ensure these landscapes remain for future generations to enjoy.

Come, explore, and be part of our story - where nature, culture, and community come together.
