"We know that most Australians are thinking about booking an interstate holiday, and this funding will ensure the Gold Coast is at the front of mind when they book their next trip," Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment Dan Tehan said.
Destination Gold Coast CEO Patricia O’Callaghan the extra funds will prove critical to the regrowth of the popular city after several lockdowns.
"We look forward to working with our industry partners to deliver a range of initiatives that are designed to stimulate our tourism economy and entice interstate visitors to holiday on the Gold Coast," Ms O’Callaghan said.
