Our Noosa Visitor Information Centre on Hastings Street has become more inclusive thanks to a new audio-based technology platform, Vacayit.
With a goal to provide information in a sensory way, capturing sights, sounds, smells, textures and tastes in storytelling, the audio guides make trip planning and in-person holiday experiences more engaging and make Noosa more accessible for visitors and locals.
The audio guides feature five two-minute informative pieces on:
• Destination Noosa highlights
• Visitor Information Centre
• Noosa’s environment
• History of Noosa and the traditional custodians, the Kabi Kabi people
• Accessibility in Noosa
There’s information on local highlights and tips about getting around for those with mobility issues.
With the year of Accessible Tourism being extended to 2024, Tourism Noosa is also committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest possible audience, regardless of ability.
The website now offers a globally-recognised accessibility feature to help people with vision and motor impairment and cognitive disabilities, which they can adjust to their personal needs. There's also an accessibility filter for accommodation and information on accessible experiences in Noosa and the Sunshine Coast.
