Tourism Queensland is very pleased to lend its support to
the 2001 Goodwill Games.
It is indeed an honor for the State, and Host City Brisbane,
to be selected as the first Southern Hemisphere venue of the
Games.
Queensland is the most desired destination for Australian
holiday-makers and the main destination for one in every two
international visitors.
Occupying more than one-fifth of the vast Australian continent,
Queensland's attractions include the largest and most spectacular
reef in the world - the Great Barrier Reef, 2000km of the
world's best beaches, wet tropics, the outback and a vibrant
and welcoming society.
Queensland boasts five of the nation's 13 World Heritage areas
and there is always something new and exciting happening.
Queensland has a range of events and festivals unequalled
anywhere in Australia.
Renowned for its warm hospitality, ideal climate and relaxed
lifestyle, Queensland is Australia's Sunshine State.
Along with the warmth, friendliness and hospitality that
Queensland is famous for, Brisbane offers an outdoor lifestyle
that is undoubtedly the best in Australia. Visitors will delight
in the array of world-class shows, art, theatre, restaurants,
live entertainment and shopping.
With the Goodwill Games expected to be televised around
the world, the event will afford Queensland an exciting opportunity
to showcase our unique combination of natural appeal and wonderful
tourism product.
