What is DestinationQ
DestinationQ is a partnership between the Queensland Government and the tourism industry.
This partnership facilitates ongoing engagement between industry and government to deliver on key priorities to drive growth and jobs in the state.
The most visible element of the partnership is the annual DestinationQ Forum which brings government and industry leaders together to discuss priorities for ensuring the industry remains competitive.
