Mr Hinchliffe said events gave an important tourism boost as they encouraged visitors to stay, explore and spend money in the Whitsunday and Mackay region. More than $480,000 is being invested by the State Government in 23 destination events across nine regions to support Queensland’s COVID-19 economic recovery. “We know the global COVID-19 pandemic has hit Queensland’s tourism industry hard,” Mr Hinchliffe said. “This round of the Queensland Destination Events Program is another important step in helping local communities to recover and supporting Queensland tourism to rebuild better.” “With an investment across nine regions in this round, there’s a festival, show or sporting event to entertain, fascinate or challenge Queenslanders and visitors for every month from May to November.”
