Elections & Budgets

We continue to advocate on behalf of the tourism industry during state and federal elections, urging government to:

• Continue a collaborative engagement with industry and tourism organisations
• Increase its support for the implementation of relevant existing tourism strategies
• Work with industry to implement new and innovative initiatives that can keep tourism in Queensland at a globally competitive edge
