Tourism Central Australia (TCA) is a dynamic, not-for-profit, membership-based organisation engaging with key industry stakeholders; including individuals, businesses and three levels of government; to ensure the growth of the tourism industry in the Red Centre and Barkly. We service 61% of the Northern Territory including the local government areas of the Barkly, MacDonnell, Central Desert and Alice Springs Town Council.
TCA is governed by a board of management made up of 10 directors elected from the general membership of the organisation, and four ‘stakeholder’ directors representing Alice Springs Town Council, Barkly Regional Council, Parks and Wildlife and Tourism Northern Territory.
Our members are drawn from a wide cross-section of the community, including tour companies, accommodation providers, restaurants, NGOs, art galleries, services, individuals, and more; creating the largest industry-based organisation in Central Australia.

- Providing industry leadership and present a strong, united voice to all three levels of government, the media, and relevant stakeholders, on behalf of more than 370 members and our industry partners.
