COVID-19 has significantly disrupted many of the assumptions and tools that business leaders rely on for decision-making, and therefore a solid framework for action and moving forward is essential. Four key business activities have been identified to help Queensland tourism businesses to prepare for reopening and to be competitive in a primarily domestic market for 2020/21 including: pivot products and innovation, develop trade and new distribution channels, and review and modify existing marketing and promotional strategies.

This initiative is proudly funded and supported by the Queensland Government through its Tourism Industry Business Capability Development Program.
