"Last week, the Queensland government launched the ambitious Destination 2045
tourism plan, which aims to make the state a global leader in tourism. The plan
highlights that one in six jobs in tropical north Queensland are supported by
tourism.

However, earlier this year the same government tentatively withdrew support
from a campaign to add Cape York to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

If the goal is to position Queensland as a leader in tourism, then linking Cape
York’s landscapes to the World Heritage brand would certainly help achieve
that."
