The National Capital Attractions Association Inc. (NCAA) is the industry association representing tourist attractions within Canberra and the surrounding region. The Association has over 45 members.
The Association’s mission is to promote the National Capital’s attractions, and we aim to work collaboratively as the peak body for Canberra attractions, to increase visitation to the attractions, and to provide a forum for marketing, information sharing, discussing issues and networking.
The Association is active in lobbying for the attractions sector with Government and other bodies, as well as promoting the national attractions through events, promotion, and publications. The NCAA has an Executive and Committee representing a wide cross section of attractions, and employs a part time secretariat to assist members and the Association.

There are three categories of membership (all are for financial years):
- Attractions – for all attractions operating from one site;
