Tourism & Destination Marketing

Carnarvon is where the river meets the reef, a destination shaped by fresh produce, coastal adventure, rich heritage and genuine regional hospitality.

The Shire of Carnarvon leads tourism and destination marketing for Carnarvon and Coral Bay through the Carnarvon Visitor Centre and our Strategic Communications and Economic Development team. Our focus is clear: attract visitors, support local operators and strengthen the regional economy.

We promote Carnarvon as a distinctive Coral Coast destination, encouraging visitors to stay longer, explore further and experience more.

 

How We Promote the Destination

Strategic Marketing Campaigns

We deliver seasonal and targeted campaigns that showcase local experiences, events and businesses. Through coordinated storytelling across digital, print and tourism networks, we keep Carnarvon visible, competitive and compelling within Western Australia’s visitor market.

Digital Presence

The Carnarvon Visitor Centre website is a key planning tool for travellers. Through curated listings, campaign features and bookable experiences, we connect visitors directly with local operators at the moment they are making decisions.

Visitor Centre Engagement

The Visitor Centre remains a powerful conversion point in the visitor journey. Each year, thousands of travellers seek local advice and recommendations. Our team actively connects visitors with accommodation, tours, retail and events, supporting longer stays and stronger local spend.

Print and On-Ground Promotion

Our Destination Guide, Town Map and in-centre displays ensure businesses are visible throughout the visitor experience, from trip planning to on-ground exploration.

Industry and Event Development

Through trade representation, cooperative marketing initiatives, content creation and major events such as the WA Tourism Conference, we strengthen industry capability and position Carnarvon as a confident, connected destination.

Tourism is a vital contributor to Carnarvon’s economic resilience. Effective destination marketing benefits the entire community.
