The tourism industry reunited on Friday night to celebrate business excellence and, most importantly, organise who is willing to trade main courses when they arrive.

The Queensland cruise industry is preparing itself for the biggest comeback since Steven Bradbury swooped by his fallen competitors in 2002.

The update to the definition of fully vaccinated has caused disagreement between the states about whether they’ll accept international arrivals.

Annastacia Palaszczuk and Mark McGowan continue to thumb the nose at their haters with this latest development.

The team at Travel Weekly have a running bet about which border update will be announced next. The most money is on either QLD or NSW shutting the borders to each other depending on how State of Origin goes.

Palaszczuk has flung open QLD’s domestic border, meaning travellers from Victoria and NSW can finally visit the Big Pineapple for the first time in five months.

Palaszczuk finally announces the date Queensland borders will reopen for fully vaccinated travellers from interstate hotspots, and what changes they can expect.

After her recent social media blunder, Premier Palaszczuk has found a very welcome distraction for the media.

The photography faux pas was swiftly deleted from the Queensland premier’s social media accounts but, unfortunately, it was too late.

Premier Palaszczuk’s reopening roadmap for Queensland hasn’t gone down too well with the state’s main airport.

The remark was the latest blow in the federal government’s attack on state leaders who show hesitancy in opening back up as per the National Cabinet plan.

The Palaszczuk government is helping take the sting out of snap lockdowns and border closures with some much-needed financial support for the struggling sectors.
