Destination 2045: Queensland’s Tourism Future consultation

We’re developing a visionary 20-year tourism plan for Queensland that reflects the voices of our vibrant industry and diverse communities.

This strategy will identify and leverage growth opportunities for the next two decades, such as unlocking the potential of ecotourism responsibly and sustainably and fully leveraging the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

We want to ensure we have the right plan in place to boost Queensland’s visitor economy for years to come.

Join the conversation

We’re committed to a consultative approach to developing Queensland’s 20-year tourism plan. We want industry and community feedback on the focus areas of:

  1. Ecotourism
  2. Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games legacy
  3. Investment attraction
  4. Tourism experience development
  5. Access and connectivity
  6. Events delivery

Your views and experience are vital as we work to make the most of the tourism opportunities associated with the Games, and ensuring a future where tourism thrives alongside our natural beauty, communities, and economy.
