Queensland is set to boost the tourism sector recovery as 38,000 Holiday Dollars vouchers are expected to be released.
Furthermore, the Sunshine State has $380 million worth of major events planned for the second half of 2021, including a cycling festival, an outback golf tournament, and the TV WEEK Logie Awards.
Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe says the closure of Australia's international border during the pandemic had blown a $6 billion hole in the state's visitor economy.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the events' list, which also includes the Gold Coast 500 Supercars race, shows Queensland's COVID-19 economic recovery plan is working.
