Tourism grants for operators, events and regional visitor economies

Find tourism grants for operators, event organisers, councils and regional tourism bodies.

Before you shortlist

Tourism funding covers new and improved visitor experiences, events and festivals, tourism infrastructure, marketing for regional destinations and recovery support after disruptions. Programs are often tied to a specific region, season or strategy.

Rounds tend to open for short windows and may close once funds are committed, so the number of open programs at any moment can be small. Tracking the category over time is more useful than a single search.

Events and festivals
Event funding usually asks for visitor numbers, economic impact estimates and a delivery budget well ahead of the event date.
Visitor experiences and infrastructure
Product development and infrastructure grants often require co-contribution, planning approvals and quotes.
Regional focus
Many tourism programs are limited to particular regions or local government areas, so location is often the first eligibility test.

Check before you apply
