Coast in June saw over 200 members attending.

Tourism Noosa provides multiple opportunities for
members to develop their operations through training
and support initiatives, as well as marketing support
by leveraging the Noosa brand through co-operative
advertising opportunities. Co-op allows members to
advertise in a cost-effective way to new users via
traditional, digital and social platforms.
