Brisbane has been attacked! Travellers need to learn what the River City is made of. According to Brisbane newspaper the Courier Mail, Anthony Hayes,the Chief Executive of the Queensland Tourism Industry Council,has criticised Brisbane for its lack of permanent tourist attractions.

It is Hayes' belief that,beyond events, Brisbane doesn't offer tourists enough reason to visit. Former Brisbane Lord Mayor Jim Soorley disagrees that Brisbane is a boring city, but admits it needs to be better marketed. We want to help.

Brisbane has spent a lot of time and resources into redefining itself, now fitting the structure and style of a "new world city." It is a diverse, dynamic, and creative city—and there is plenty to do and see.
