Grow your tourism business with Academy Experts

Export Ready helps Queensland tourism businesses get ready to sell to international markets and the travel trade. It pairs an export readiness assessment with program credits you spend on sessions with Academy Experts, accredited tourism trade specialists.

Practical support for tourism operators

Tourism Accelerator helps Australian tourism businesses grow. We design and deliver capability programs, advisory, and the technology that supports them, working alongside operators, regional and state tourism organisations, and government.

Tourism Accelerator delivers Export Ready on behalf of Tourism and Events Queensland, for Queensland operators who hold Best of Queensland Experiences accreditation and are ready to trade. There is no cost to take part.

What the program gives you

Practical and grounded

Academy Experts are accredited tourism trade specialists who work with you on practical, specific tasks, agreed in a Work Order before work begins.

Focused on outcomes

Your export readiness assessment shows where your business is strong and where to focus next, across digital, marketing, product, distribution and export-facing operations.

Support through the program

A single program contact at Tourism Accelerator, your regional tourism organisation as your local contact, an orientation session and a 30-day check-in.

Backed by Tourism and Events Queensland

Tourism Accelerator leads delivery. Tourism and Events Queensland funds the program so eligible operators across the state, from the reef to the outback, can take part at no cost and grow the visitor economy in their region.
