Visit Sunshine Coast CEO Simon Latchford welcomed Kylee’s appointment.

“Events provide the perfect opportunity to not only showcase our region as a tourism destination but also position the Sunshine Coast as the regional events capital of Australia,” he said.

“We are delighted to attract a candidate of Kylee’s calibre and from New Zealand — a country that truly understands how to deliver exceptional tourism and event outcomes. She will be a brilliant addition to the team and brings a remarkable depth of events marketing experience to the position.”

Speaking on her new position, Daniel said: “I relocated to the Sunshine Coast earlier in the year and I’m excited to join an ambitious regional tourism organisation where my global event expertise will be utilised.”
