Past leaders
Many members of Queensland’s tourism industry have been past leaders in the Young Tourism Leaders program.
These influential role models have provided advice to students at schools, vocational training and tertiary institutions on how to kick-start a career in tourism, and have promoted the diversity of careers available.
Since 2018, the Young Tourism Leaders have engaged with more than 28,000 Queensland students at more than 300 speaking engagements.
We thank all of the past leaders for their work inspiring the next generation of Queensland tourism employees.
