Tourism Noosa General Manager Mr  Damien Massingham today said that the past couple of weeks had been amazing for Noosa with supporters, international media and of course the team this week being in Noosa.<\/span><\/div>\n
“We have had some incredible media exposure with messages and images of Noosa throughout the international media via press, television, radio and social media and this type of exposure in our international market is priceless” Mr Massingham said.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
“The whole community got behind the Lions being in Noosa with ‘Noosa Welcomes British & Irish Lions and Supporters’ street banners, posters, drink coasters and badges that were used in many establishments over the past few weeks. Tourism Noosa also hosted 40 plus international media for Welcome to Noosa sunset drinks overlooking Main Beach with many of the media saying it was without a doubt the best event of their stay in Australia.”<\/span><\/div>\n
