Understanding the Tourism Marketplace

The Tourism Accelerator Marketplace is your gateway to connecting with fellow tourism operators, showcasing your business to potential visitors, and building valuable partnerships within the regional tourism community.

What is the Marketplace?

The Marketplace is a dedicated platform where tourism businesses across the region come together. Whether you operate a boutique accommodation, run adventure tours, manage a local restaurant, or offer unique experiences, the Marketplace helps you:

  • Get discovered by visitors planning their trips

  • Connect with fellow operators to create collaborative experiences

  • Build your reputation through reviews and trust badges

  • Grow your network within the tourism community

How the Marketplace Works

For Your Business

When you list your business in the Marketplace, you create a comprehensive profile that showcases what makes your operation special. Visitors browsing the Marketplace can discover your offerings, read reviews, and reach out directly with enquiries.

For Finding Partners

The Marketplace isn't just about attracting visitors—it's about building relationships with other operators. Perhaps you run a winery and want to partner with a local tour company, or you manage accommodation and want to recommend nearby experiences to your guests.

Accessing the Marketplace

  • Navigate to /marketplace from your dashboard

  • Browse listings by category, location, or keyword

  • Use filters to find exactly what you're looking for

  • Click on any listing to view full details
