The Olympic bid for South-East Queensland has gained traction as the head of Australia’s peak tourism body re-enforced his support for the bid.
Tourism Australia managing director John O’Sullivan said the region is well-suited to make the bid after encouraging State leaders to go one better after the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games last year.
The growing support for the bid comes after Gold Coast’s mayor Tom Tate said although he would not be prepared to allocate ratepayer funds to the Olympic Games, he would support Commonwealth Games Venues being used for the event.
