Tourism and Events Queensland Chief Executive Patricia O’Callaghan enthused “It’s great to bring the industry together each year for Tourism Week and really focus on the future while also taking time to celebrate our achievements.
“The DestinationQ Forum in Cairns is an opportunity to rally the tourism industry to work together to keep Queensland as Australia’s top holiday state.”
Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) Chief Executive Brett Fraser adds “as the state’s peak industry body, we are proud to once again be a partner of the DestinationQ Forum.
“QTIC welcomes the chance to bring government and industry together in collaboration and conversation.
