Summer holidaymakers are on track to pump more than $6 billion into Queensland’s tourism economy, which is back on track after two seasons marred by COVID-19 restrictions.
Queensland and interstate tourists had generated 15 million visitor nights in the month to January 10, up almost 2.5 per cent on 2021, the state’s Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said.“It’s not the full story yet ... [but] we do see that there is a absolutely bumper outcome for Queensland’s tourism economy,” Hinchliffe told reporters at Shorncliffe, in Brisbane’s north-east.
“People have been able to travel freely around the country, but the place that they have chosen unquestionably ... to travel to holiday has been Queensland.”
