Nicholls has a taste for tourism

-

LNP leader Tim Nicholls said yesterday if elected his government would boost tourism in Queensland with a $1.5 million Taste

Queensland campaign. Mr Nicholls said revitalisi­ng Queensland’s tourism industry and unlocking its potential was a crucial part of the LNP’s plan to build a better Queensland.

“Annastacia Palaszczuk and Labor have dropped the ball over the past three years and missed out on a golden era of internatio­nal and domestic tourism,” Mr Nicholls said.

“We understand that tourism investment and attracting more domestic and internatio­nal tourists will create jobs and help families get ahead.

“Queensland should be Australia’s number one tourist destinatio­n but Labor’s failure to support our tourism sector means we have lost significan­t ground to other states and territorie­s.”

Mr Nicholls said an LNP Government would invest $1.5 million on a Taste

Queensland campaign encouragin­g domestic and internatio­nal tourists to visit Queensland’s unique food and wine regions.

“Queensland has so much to offer, from the fruit and wines in the Granite Belt, to the fresh seafood along the Queensland coast – there is something to tantalise everyone’s taste buds,” Mr Nicholls said.

“This is why an LNP Government will invest $1.5 million showcasing Queensland’s unique food and wine regions.

“We will also encourage our domestic and internatio­nal visitors to take the opportunit­y to experience Queensland’s diverse agricultur­e opportunit­ies and enjoy a farm stay.’’
