Queensland Tourism Week - Tropical North Queensland/Cook back’s local tourism operators

Member for Cook Cynthia Lui today announced the following local tourism operators who are in the running for a Queensland Tourism Award:

Ms Lui said I’m proud of our very own local businesses for being nominated for awards that showcase the best of Tropical North Queensland tourism experiences.

“This is an opportunity to celebrate with our tourism operators for showcasing the beauty of our region and the great experiences on offer.

“Gold Winners will have the opportunity to represent Queensland as nominees for the 2019 Australian Tourism Awards.”

Ms Lui said the awards were the final celebration of Queensland Tourism Week which includes DestinationQ, the state’s tourism forum on the Gold Coast bringing together government, industry and tourism operators to discuss strategies to grow the tourism sector and boost events.

“Tourism is a $25 billion industry supporting one in every ten Queensland jobs,” she said.

“It is crucial we grow this important sector of our economy to create more jobs – especially in our regions.
