Introducing Whitsundays Marketing and Development 

Whitsundays Marketing and Development Limited (WMDL) is our region's new tourism marketing and economic development agency. WMDL is committed to our region's growth through attracting new business, investment and infrastructure, and marketing our region to visitors and potential new residents.

WMDL was formed in 2012 by the merger of Enterprise Whitsundays and Tourism Whitsundays to form one economic development and destination marketing agency for the Whitsundays region. The Whitsundays is a very diverse region, with several strong industries spread across a broad landscape and there will be a huge advantage to the region having the one board focused on coordinating and growing these industries for the benefit of our communities.

WMDL will focus on the key areas of:

• Tourism marketing
• Destination development    
• Investment attraction
• Policy, advocacy and leadership
• Advice, information and services
  
  

Our Vision

Our vision is that the Whitsundays be globally recognised as a vibrant, progressive community in which to live, work, play and invest with a regional economy that is diverse, sustainable and delivering long term benefits for the Whitsundays community.The strategies to achieve this vision are in our Strategic Plan, supported by tourism and economic development plans.
