Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said 38-year-old Ms O’Callaghan’s addition to the organisation has been highly anticipated.
“Patricia will head up our state’s lead tourism marketing organisation and lead it through the post-COVID-19 tourism landscape where we are well positioned to cement our reputation as Australia’s best holiday destination,” she said.
“It’s also a really exciting time as we race towards the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics which is expected to bring a $4.6 billion boost to trade and tourism for our state.
“I congratulate Patricia on her new role and look forward to working with her as we continue our post-Covid economic recovery and promoting Queensland around the world.”
