about ncaa

National Capital Attractions Association (NCAA) is a peak industry body for tourism in the Canberra Region.

Who we are

The National Capital Attractions Association (NCAA) is a not-for-profit organisation that was established in 1990 to represent tourist attractions and businesses within the Canberra Region.

The NCAA includes among its membership government-funded national attractions, private sector attractions, tourism services, events, natural attractions, accommodation, and tourism retail businesses.

NCAA’s mission is to promote the Canberra tourism industry, to work collaboratively as a peak body for the industry and provide a forum for marketing, information sharing, discussing topics and networking. As a voice for tourism the NCAA is active in advocating on behalf of members on the issues and opportunities facing the industry. 

The NCAA’s Canberra Region Tourism Industry Council sit on the Australian Tourism Industry Council Board (ATIC), and manage and run the Quality Tourism Framework which includes Canberra Region Tourism Awards program and events, Accreditation and Star Ratings. These programs are run nationally in every state/territory.

To bring the NCAA into line with other industry bodies across the borders within Australian Tourism Industry Council (ATIC), Quality Tourism Framework (QTF), we have registered the business name Canberra Region Tourism Industry Council (CRTIC). It should be noted that NCAA will still be trading as NCAA however the CRTIC will oversee the programs.
