Tourism support

We encourage local businesses to add their listing on the Greater Port Macquarie website, which is seen by over 30,000 people each month. This listing feeds through from the Australian Tourism Data Website (ATDW) platform to process your registration, meaning your business is searchable in a local database, but also nationwide.

Make sure you have some images and a business blurb ready then register and list your business on ATDW, which will then feed into the Greater Port Macquarie website automatically.

The Eat, See, Do booklet is a biennial publication, and is the official visitor guide for the Greater Port Macquarie region.

20,000 guides are distributed to households within our local region, to Visitor Information Centres throughout New South Wales, to event participants within the region and other distribution points.  

You can request free copies of the guide to display in your business premises to give away to locals and visitors. You might also like to advertise in the 2021 publication. Email tourism@pmhc.nsw.gov.au for more information. 

Are you a data hound? Want to connect with other small tourism operators and have access to free skill-building courses and mentoring? This data and information packed page on the Port Macquarie destination website is the go-to for everything good in data and self-serve assistance.

Need some images of our region to promote your operation? Head on over to our image library, search and order (for FREE) images that you can use! We are constantly updating and adding images to this library so add it to your ‘go to’ resource list. 

The Greater Port Macquarie Tourism Association (GPMTA) is a non-profit Association and is the peak industry body representing the interests of the tourism industry in the Greater Port Macquarie area, which includes Camden Haven and Wauchope. We work with this association and all stakeholders to achieve a sustainable increase in visitor numbers for Greater Port Macquarie. Vital to this is a strong and united tourism industry, which member participation greatly assists.

As we head into the busy holiday season, combined with additional COVID requirements, it's fair to say there'll be times when this will impact the visitor experience. In an attempt to help ward off frustrations, we will be asking people to be kind when they visit. Kind to our local community and to the staff who will serve them. 

To help, we've produced the HumanKind campaign, a suite of assets designed to be a highly visible reminder to be patient and kind! Banners, posters, stickers, print ads and art have been distribute throughout the region, and via our online channels.

Your business can join over 150 local businesses that have already jumped on board. Campaign assets include:

• Repositionable vinyl stickers (to affix to windows, counters, etc)
• A3 posters
• Drink coasters (some accom and pubs only)
• Large vinyl banners 
• 'Guerilla-style' street art by local artist Brad Collins
• Ads in Focus mag and back page of Summer Discover mag.

Talk to your staff about the campaign, give them a way to respond to impatient customers and get everyone on message - this is the season to be both - Human and Kind! 

You can access the digital kit here for downloadable social media tiles and posters. We'd love you to help amplify this messaging via your socials. Use the hashtags #HumanKind - #BeKind - #iloveportmacquarie.  

The campaign is supported by:

• Greater Port Macquarie Tourism Association
• Hastings Liquor Accord
• Port Macquarie Chamber of Commerce
• Camden Haven Chamber of Commerce
• Wauchope Chambers of Commerce.
