Work in Paradise builds on our $860 million in significant support for the tourism industry inresponse to the pandemic, which includes industry support and relief measures, the Holiday Dollars program and the Good to Go campaign to stimulate tourism where it’s needed most. It showcases the breadth of roles in tourism and how it is a great place to work and build a career, as well as the amazing diversity and beauty of our regions.
