Suzy steps into new tourism role

Tourism and Events Moreton Bay has appointed Suzy Bohan to a new role, Tourism – Director.

Bohan will lead the tourism portfolio, including destination marketing, trade and distribution, industry development, visitor servicing and strategic tourism initiatives.

The move will strengthen the organisation’s executive leadership as Moreton Bay becomes one of Queensland’s fastest-growing visitor destinations.

Deep industry knowledge

Tourism and Events Moreton Bay CEO Luke Edwards said Bohan’s appointment reflects its aim to build a mature, competitive and future-focused visitor economy.

“Suzy has been instrumental in helping shape the next phase of tourism growth in Moreton Bay,” Edwards said.

“She brings deep industry knowledge, strong operator relationships and a genuine commitment to helping our tourism businesses grow. 

“Her ability to connect strategy with practical industry support has made a real difference across the region.”

Exciting times

Bohan joined Tourism & Events Moreton Bay in January 2024 and was promoted to General Manager – Tourism in March 2025. 

She was previously Trade Manager at Tourism Whitsundays, Account Manager at Delta Air Lines and spent almost a decade in sales at Daydream Island Resort and Spa.

“We have passionate operators, extraordinary experiences and a region that is growing in confidence every year,” said Bohan, who has more than 20 years’ experience in the industry.

“What’s particularly exciting is many tourism businesses are still on their journey and helping them grow, become trade-ready and connect with new markets is incredibly rewarding.

“The opportunity ahead of us isn’t just Brisbane 2032. It’s building a tourism industry that is stronger, more resilient and more competitive for decades to come.

“I’m looking forward to continuing to work closely with City of Moreton Bay, Brisbane Economic Development Agency (BEDA), Tourism and Events Queensland and our industry partners to ensure Moreton Bay continues to mature as a destination and delivers outstanding experiences for visitors.”

Incredible opportunity

Edwards said Moreton Bay’s tourism industry had evolved significantly in recent years, but the next chapter would be about accelerating that momentum.

“We’re seeing increasing investment, more tourism businesses entering domestic and international markets and growing recognition of Moreton Bay as a destination in its own right,” he said.

“With Brisbane 2032 on the horizon, we have an incredible opportunity to continue building a visitor economy that delivers long-term benefits for local businesses and our community.”
