The Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) today welcomed the announcement by the Premier, Hon Annastacia Palaczszuk, of further industry support measures in response to the ongoing CoronaVirus crisis affecting Queensland’s tourism destinations.
QTIC Chief Executive, Daniel Gschwind said, “Business operators across the state were already dealing with the reputational impacts of the bushfire disaster, when the Corona Virus and the associated China travel ban decimated international tourism.
“The timing could not have been more unfortunate with the normally busy Chinese New Year season turning into a financial disaster for operators across the state, particularly in Cairns and the Gold Coast”.
