ANSWER: On 19 July 2020, the Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk MP, Premier and Minister for Trade, extended the Year of Indigenous Tourism to 2021 due to the impacts of COVID-19. The Palaszczuk Government is investing $10 million over two years for Indigenous tourism development and growth as part of the Year of Indigenous Tourism. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tourism experiences are an iconic part of Queensland’s tourism sector and a strong economic driver, as the sector supported $505 million in visitor expenditure and employed nearly 2500 people on a full-time basis before the COVID-19 pandemic. Key initiatives of the Year of Indigenous Tourism include: • $7 million Growing Indigenous Tourism in Queensland Fund • Our Country Tourism Business Development Service • Advance Queensland One Business program, for Indigenous business innovators and entrepreneurs • Indigenous experience, marketing, festivals and events • The scoping of the potential to establish a peak Indigenous tourism body. Under the Growing Indigenous Tourism in Queensland Fund, 24 businesses received funding of up to $25 000 to develop business concepts and feasibility studies for new growth of Indigenous tourism product or experiences, while nine businesses received funding of up to $1 million to deliver a new tourism attraction, experience or built infrastructure. The Our Country Indigenous Tourism Development Service assists Indigenous tourism operators to identify services and sources of funding to grow the Indigenous tourism industry. Since the commencement of the Year of Indigenous Tourism, the Our Country Indigenous Tourism Development service has connected with over 150 Indigenous tourism businesses. This includes dozens of emerging businesses and 10 fully established accredited Best of Queensland Indigenous-owned tourism enterprises across Queensland. The emerging Indigenous tourism experiences are broad, with arts, cultural heritage, educational and eco-tourism products leading the way. The Advance Queensland One Business program has trained Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as trainers, with these trainers having already delivered 18 online webinars and started face-to-face services in Townsville. 122 participants have registered to participate across different locations. The Tourism and Events Queensland Year of Indigenous Tourism Festivals and Events Fund is investing $200 000 to provide strategic support for existing Queensland events and festivals that showcase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures in 2021. Tourism and Events Queensland’s $300 000 Year of Indigenous Tourism Destination Support Program provides funding to 12 Regional Tourism Organisations to deliver experience development projects that grow the number of Indigenous tourism experiences and events in their destination. This includes projects like Brisbane’s Relationship Building Program launched recently and the Yuwi Aboriginal Cultural Tourism Experience Tour with Mackay Tourism Limited in July 2021. The Year of Indigenous Tourism program is being delivered in partnership with Tourism and Events Queensland, the Queensland Tourism Industry Council, TAFE Queensland and Tourism Tropical North Queensland, as well as other key partners.

ANSWER: Through Advance Queensland, the Palaszczuk Government is supporting a new, multi-million-dollar Agtech and Logistics Hub in Toowoomba. Following a competitive tender process, Agrifood Connect Limited was awarded the contract to establish and operate the Hub under a three-year pilot period, with the Hub officially launched in May 2021. A consortium has been established, led by Agrifood Connect Limited, to deliver the objectives of the Hub.
