GALTA invites all tourism professionals to join their Annual General Meeting which will take place this Saturday, October 13 from 11am at Coral Tree Inn in Cairns.

This will be followed by some casual drinks and nibbles in the pool area from 12.15 pm.

It’s no coincidence that the AGM sits smack bang in the middle of North Queensland’s largest LGBTI festival, Tropical Pride.
