     Planning began for a new strategic plan to lead Noosa’s tourism
     industry through COVID-19 recovery and into the next three years.
     We undertook our most comprehensive
     consultation to date, seeking feedback and
     opinions from local industry and member groups,
     community organisations, business associations
     and stakeholders in Noosa and the wider
     tourism industry. Results from the engagement
     paper were shared with members and other
     participants, and the final strategy will be
     released later in 2020.
