Agritourism

Agritourism is an important contributor to the Scenic Rim’s economic prosperity, delivering around $108 million to the regional economy and 1,978 local jobs in the year ending March 2021. The region’s success in delivering eco-based tourism has been internationally recognised in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2022 guide. The Scenic Rim attracts tourists through its scenery, world heritage-listed national parks, lakes and dams, cafes and restaurants, wineries and producers. Commercial attractions showcase local produce and hospitality, providing opportunity and employment in the Scenic Rim both at point of sale and at the farm gate. Tourism interest has been magnified by demand for day trips and the domestic weekender market driven by travel restrictions due to COVID-19.
