Do you have a favourite loo in FNQ?

Is there a loo with a view that takes your fancy?

Or one that has a comfy seat that you've enjoyed around the Far North?

Local tourism operators can make a splash with their best toilets as entries have opened for the inaugural Toilet Tourism Awards.

Co-founder of MyTravelResearch.com Bronwyn White says "it's time for destinations to smell the roses. Great toilets drive visitation".

“Good toilets provide a valid reason to stop at a destination. Not only will visitors go to the toilet, they may go for a meal, or visit local shops and attractions. Toilets are a vital and underestimated part of the global visitor economy,” she says.

There's six different categories: 

- Overall Winner
- Best Tourism Economic Contributor - for when people stop at a toilet in a destination and stay on to spend more than a penny
- Best Location - where the toilets have views and maybe considered an attraction in themselves
- Best Design architectural brilliance in toilets, visual design and creativity
- Quirkiest Toilet Experience relating to local heritage, fun, or otherwise noteworthy
- Best Accessible Toilet

The overall winner will get $2,000 donated to World Toilet Day in their name, a copy of every MTR research publication in 2017 (worth $8000) and access to tourism research events.
