Tourism
John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (18:43): (2517) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Tourism in the other place, Minister Suleyman. The Allan Labor government has invested in making Victoria a first-class tourist destination for both domestic and international travellers. This includes investments in cultural and live music events throughout Melbourne and significant promotion of sporting events across our state. Significantly, Melbourne has secured the American National Football League to play a regular season’s game here in Melbourne. This firmly puts Melbourne on the global stage as a prime tourist destination. Beyond just our capital city, we are also investing in tourism in the regions. This includes supporting tourism infrastructure and regional events. These investments provide a much-needed boost to small and family businesses and tourism operators in our region. The action that I seek is the minister provide me with information on how many jobs are created by the visitor economy, including in Southern Metro.
