With tough times for Queensland’s tourism industry ongoing as the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to require a strong health response, Queenslanders are again being urged to support the state’s tourism industry.
A new $2.4 million tourism campaign is being rolled out to encourage and inspire more Queenslanders to support the industry and its workers in our home state as part of the continued rollout of Queensland’s plan for economic recovery from COVID-19.
The ‘Days Like This’ campaign showcases a range of popular tourist spots and features Van Morrison’s classic hit which has been re-recorded and given a distinctly Queensland feel by local musicians Tia Gostelow and Busby Marou.
