Last week the Tewantin-Noosa branch of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) enjoyed a visit from Tourism Noosa chief executive officer Melanie Anderson.
CWA spokesperson and vice-pPresident Leigh McCready said, “We were thrilled to have Melanie speak with us about the challenges the tourism industry has faced over the past two years in Noosa.”
“Only now is Tourism Noosa starting to see the greenshoots of the recovery emerging, although many issues, particularly the reduced number of staff still working in the industry post-Covid and where they are housed, are still current.
“We also heard about the many programs TN is running to support its growing membership (currently 680 members, the largest tourism membership organisation in Australia) and the amount of revenue contributed to the Noosa economy through tourism.
“After our conversation with Melanie, we discussed the newly launched partnership between the Gympie Muster and the Queensland CWA.
This year will be the celebration of 40 years of the Gympie Muster. The Muster has chosen the Queensland Country Women’s Association as it’s charity partner for the event. We look forward to working with the Muster to create some fantastic anniversary events in August.”
Ms McCready invited interested community members to become a member of the Tewantin-Noosa CWA.
“We currently have an offer of 15 months for the price of 12 for all new members, costing only $48. Please see how to join at our Facebook page at facebook.com/CWATewantin or by emailing leighmccready@outlook.com”
