We're Leading the Way!
Glen Innes Highlands has been recognised in the Australian Government tourism strategy, THRIVE 2030, for embracing an emerging global trend: geotourism. Our prominently featured case study puts us on the map and solidifies our aim to become a model geotourism destination in line with our Destination Management Plan and the National Geotourism Strategy.
