Strategic focus on Asia
Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ)’s Queensland Asia Tourism Strategy 2016-2025 will put the State’s tourism industry at the forefront of understanding and meeting the needs of the new Asian traveller. It is the platform for Queensland tourism operators, regional tourism organisations, local governments and industry partners to make use of and get involved in.
TEQ has an aspirational goal of making Queensland the leading Australian destination in market share, reputation and experience delivery for Asian travellers, including Chinese visitors.
China is the largest and most valuable international visitor market for the state and in the year ending March 2020, 397,000 Chinese visitors spent almost $1.3 billion in Queensland.
