The Queensland Fishing Forum is a celebration of recreational fishing and the economic benefits it brings through visitor experiences, business spend and research.
Hosted in Rockhampton, one of Australia’s premier barramundi fisheries, the forum brings together recreational fishing stakeholders and experts from within the industry as well as tourism, research and government to explore opportunities for industry growth and regional development.
Understand how investing in the recreational fishing industry can drive investment, tourism growth and infrastructure spending, as it’s done so here in the Rockhampton Region.
