Last week, Bundaberg Tourism CEO, Duncan Littler, attended Queensland Tourism Industry Council - QTIC Tourism in the House event at Queensland Parliament, joining tourism leaders, industry operators and government representatives from across Queensland.
The event provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships, share the Bundaberg Region's tourism story, and discuss the opportunities and challenges facing regional destinations across the state. It was particularly pleasing to connect with Queensland Minister for the Environment and Tourism, Andrew Powell MP, and Member for Burnett, Stephen Bennett MP, and to discuss the important role tourism plays in creating jobs, supporting local businesses and contributing to vibrant regional communities.
Events like Tourism in the House highlight the value of collaboration between industry, government and community. By working together, we can continue to grow a sustainable visitor economy that benefits both visitors and residents, while showcasing the unique experiences that make the Bundaberg Region and Southern Great Barrier Reef such a special place to visit. A sincere thank you to QTIC, CEO Natassia Wheeler, Chair Elsa Dalessio, and the QTIC team for hosting such a valuable event and creating opportunities for meaningful industry engagement.
We look forward to continuing these conversations and working alongside our partners to support a strong and thriving future for tourism in our region.
