TTF CEO Margy Osmond stated: "Tourism is crucial to the growth of the Queensland economy, generating AUD27.7 billion (USD20.9 billion) in consumption as well as directly contributing around AUD11.2 billion (USD8.4 billion) to total Gross State Product and employing more than 135,000 people across the state".
