Tourism Noosa welcomed the new CEO of Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ), Patricia O’Callaghan recently to introduce her to our region and tourism sector.

We hosted Trish and Laura Jones from TEQ on a tour to familiarise them with Noosa’s major sights and attractions, and at a lunch with tourism industry stakeholders. Trish also met with Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Cr Amelia Lorentson who is Noosa Council’s observer to our Board, and Directors of the Tourism Noosa Board.

We also joined Trish and TEQ at a Sunshine Coast tourism roundtable to discuss the current situation for tourism in the region.

The visit was a great opportunity to update TEQ on our activities and for them to experience the strength of the tourism industry in Noosa.
