Welcome from The Hon. Michael Healy MP

The Gold Coast is one of the world’s most recognised visitor destinations and a key international tourism hub, so it’s great to be hosting ATEC Meeting Place this October. 

Events like this are important groundwork for the future of tourism in this state because we know when international buyers experience our great lifestyle and iconic visitor offerings, they’ll recommend them to agents and holidaymakers around the globe. 

It also brings a short-term boost to the local visitor economy which is great for local accommodation and hospitality providers and good local industry jobs. 

In Queensland we have world-class visitor experiences so attracting international markets is critical for our state’s international tourism recovery.
