Queensland has an incredible variety of tourism products, and the government has a bold vision, backed by $125 million investment to boost product development, including supporting the rollout of iconic new tourism attractions.

There is an opportunity for the industry to revive and rejuvenate existing brands and accommodation assets to not only refresh the experience for visitors but also increase long term benefit through increased capacity in existing developments.

We’ll focus on working with investors to develop the right infrastructure, attractions and experiences that exceed expectations and leave lasting benefits to communities, create jobs and support more tourism-related businesses to grow and thrive.
