* Important Information relating to the regional snapshots: Due to severe weather events in Queensland in 2011 and their impact on surveying for the National Visitor Survey (NVS), domestic tourism region data has not been published in Tourism Queensland's Regional Snapshots for the year ended March 2011. Instead, domestic data for tourism regions have been presented as a 3 year average, with change over time shown as a 3 year trend change, not year on year change as in previous regional snapshots.
