As we wrap up the year and reflect on the last 12 months, it is remarkable to see how far our industry and tourism community has come. The approaching Christmas holiday period marks the first in two years in which Queensland’s tourism sector will be unimpeded by border closures and restrictions.
After contending with strict social mandates and snap lockdowns, the recovery of our tourism sector has been nothing short of spectacular. We owe much of this renewal to an undiminished appetite by Australians for travel. Throughout the last year, we have seen the desire to explore, to connect with community and people, and to live new experiences remain untarnished as domestic visitor spending soared. Our industry will continue to grow and thrive thanks to this irrepressible urge to travel.
