Queensland’s Tourist Hotspots Not Looking Too Hot
Summer is coming, but the tourist hotspots in Queensland aren’t looking as hot as they used to. With the slow rebuild following COVID, many small business owners struggled to keep up with post-COVID maintenance. While that might have been a result of labour materials shortages, Australia is recovering on every front.
COVID, of course, damaged the tourist industry in ways we’re still feeling, but now that tourists are returning, businesses are trying to meet high expectations, and it’s led to a serious rush for renovations throughout the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. Whether you’re looking for an exterior upgrade or interior renovations, now is the time to find the right team to give your business a facelift.
Tourism is big business in Queensland, with the state attracting around 25 million domestic overnight visitors annually. Combined with international visitors, tourists spend a whopping $90 million plus in Queensland every day! The Gold Coast alone accounted for $8.1 billion in 2024, and the Sunshine Coast accounted for $4.3 billion. Given their humble beginnings as tourist destinations, it’s incredible how far they’ve come. The Sunshine Coast didn’t become a popular holiday stop until post-World War II, while the Gold Coast was known as the place to be for wealthy Brisbanites in the late 19th century.
High Rise Maintenance Sunshine Coast
Whether you rely on tourist trade directly or not, spring is a great time to address those exterior (and interior) renovations you’ve been putting off, whether it’s as simple as a building wash down or tackling those serious concrete repairs.
As businesses begin the search for renovation specialists, calendars are filling fast. So, start getting quotes from local tradies now, whether you need commercial painters to handle your hotel rooms floor by floor, or you’d prefer them to focus on kerb appeal for your holiday rental property. Giving your business a facelift will give it a new lease on life, plus it’s generally great for team morale and customer reviews.
Don’t wait! Contact licensed and experienced tradespeople to handle your commercial painting, concrete repairs, or building wash downs at the scale your property demands. Secure your renovations now before contractors’ calendars fill.
You don’t need to be a brand-new business to make money but giving your existing business a refresh can make all the difference to a busy tourist looking for a nice view and a comfortable seat to enjoy a meal, stop for a drink, or book an extra night or two.
