Hospitality, Tourism and Gaming
Drawing on over 25 years experience advising North Queensland businesses in the tourism, hospitality and gaming sectors
Hospitality, tourism and gaming are all significant industry sectors in Cairns and North Queensland and each is highly regulated. Our lawyers know the burden that this regulation places on operators of all sizes and are committed to delivering expert and valuable legal services to our clients in this area to help them achieve their commercial objectives whilst still meeting their legal, compliance and community obligations. At Miller Harris Lawyers, you will have access to a range of lawyers with broad and varied tourism law experience.
Whether you are a hotelier, licensed club, property developer, owner and operator, restaurateur, brewer, wholesaler, entertainment venue and nightclub operator or landlord, we know the specific issues relevant to your industry and can help you maintain compliance in a way that does not distract from the delivery of your service.
Legal services we provide to hospitality, tourism and gaming clients are outlined below.

Travel agents and tour operators
Specific licensing and regulatory requirements apply to travel agents and tour operators and depending on the nature of your business, marine and fishing licensing and regulation may also be relevant.
