Queensland in Motion: Aviation, Tourism and the Road to 2032

Queensland is on the move.

Across aviation and tourism, the state is building strong momentum, with growing demand, expanding connectivity and a renewed global appetite for travel. From Brisbane to regional hubs across Queensland, both sectors continue to play a critical role in driving economic growth, investment and jobs.

But the conversation is shifting.

With the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon, the next decade presents a defining opportunity, not just to grow, but to position Queensland on the global stage. Central to this is the role of Brisbane as the state’s primary gateway, and the continued evolution of Brand Brisbane as a confident, world-class destination.

Aviation will be key, enabling access, unlocking new markets and supporting the growth of the Brisbane Airport precinct as a major economic engine. At the same time, the tourism sector must continue to navigate challenges around workforce, capacity and competition, while delivering exceptional visitor experiences across the state.

So where are we now, and what comes next?

Join BNE Enterprise as we bring together industry and government leaders to reflect on the performance of aviation and tourism in 2026, and explore the opportunities and challenges that will shape the road to 2032.
