  The State Government s tourism recovery response has come under fire amid the revelation Queensland has spent less money on travel voucher schemes than almost every other state. With the industry on its knees facing a $13bn black hole, the Queensland government last month launched a hugely popular travel voucher initiative for Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef. But data obtained by The Courier-Mail reveals that the $4m outlay pales next to the government spend of similar schemes in NSW, Victoria and the Northern Territory. Queensland Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said that the state s tourism recovery response was worth $790m so far, dwarfing travel voucher ­offers to ignite tourism in other states.
