What is the Local Tourist?
We are a Brisbane based company that offers commercial and
voluntary organisations the opportunity to promote their
goods, services and events online.
Who is behind thelocaltourist.com.au?
The company was started by Terry Madigan and Rob Singh who
recognised the need for local people to have all their leisure
options at their fingertips, and for local businesses and
organisations to have a cost-effective, reliable and targeted
promotional platform. There are more details in the About
Us section.
Do you list sites
for free?
In the past we have accepted submissions for free listings from
non-profit organisations. Unfortunately this "honor"
system was abused and we have had to withdraw it. In any event
we believe that $80 for a 12 month basic listing is rather a nominal
amount, even for small organisations. It is a modest contribution
to the quite substantial costs incurred in promoting our listings
so they bring business to your doostep .. or modem .. or telephone.
Beyond our basic listing, sites that are willing and able to pay
a little more receive listing preference according to our priority
rating.
Once your site is listed, using our intuitive classification system,
potential clients can quickly and easily locate the type of services
or events they seek. Yours!
If you have an internet presence your link will be included.
Why should I pay
to list with you?
That,naturally, is a commercial decision for you to
make. However, consider the following:
How does it work?
Read the relevant information and complete the submission form
on our site submission page.
What makes
you different from other event sites?
We are different in a number of ways.
- We are interested in every organisation,
business or service that would be of interest to people
in our communities in their leisure time. It doesn't matter
whether it's large or small, provided it is within commuting
distance of our "local" area i.e. South East
Queensland.
- We offer you the chance to submit directly
yourselves rather than depend on us to find out about
you and offer our own brief interpretation of your nature.
- We offer the potential for detailed
information on 14 broad leisure concepts, and over 140
recreational classifications so users can keep in touch
with their particular interests.
For more information about us and our
business see the About Us area.

a lot of computer experience to submit my information?

details and no credit cards are involved. However we send you

you purchase or subscribe to one of our services..
