Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 20, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

The LNP Opposition has promised that if elected at the next State election it will provide funding for 500 WiFi hotspots in key tourism destinations throughout Queensland,<\/p>\n

LNP Leader Tim Nicholls said an LNP Government would ensure tourists had access to world-class technology so they could “brag to their mates back home” about their Queensland holiday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will commit $3 million over three years towards a program to install WiFi hotspots at key tourism destinations across the State so tourists can easily connect to the internet,\u201d Mr Nicholls said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is proving very popular with expressions of interest already put forward for more than 300 of the 500 WiFi spots we will fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cTourism organisations will be asked to develop a digital and social media marketing campaign to encourage tourists to use the WiFi hotspots to spread the word to the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese WiFi hotspots will be established through grants to local councils which will be responsible for setting up the network.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have an amazing range of natural and man-made tourism assets that are unique to Queensland and set our State apart from other destinations around Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cA recent example of this was a post about the Cardwell natural spa pools which was shared on social media more than 7300 times and seen by more than 130,000 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing digital and social media to showcase our great tourism locations is an ideal way to show the world that Queensland is a great place to visit.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
