Tourism Noosa chief executive officer Melanie Anderson welcomed the news.
“The new board has significant experience in tourism and business management with the new directors being leaders in their industry,“ Ms Anderson said.
“This is an exciting new chapter for Tourism Noosa as we look forward to our industry navigating forward and through post Covid times.
“I would also like to thank outgoing board directors, former chair Richard Stephens (Accom Noosa), Andrew Brodie (Sunshine Coast Airport), Brett Kapernick (Queensland Tourism Industry Council), Darren McClenaghan (RACV Noosa Resort), Erina Kilmore (Australia Zoo) and Michael Holmes (Noosa Longboards).“
