Industry veteran Tony South has been selected as the new chairman of Tourism Australia at a time when the sector is proving an increasingly important growth engine for the economy after the end of the mining boom. His appointment follows the departure of his predecessor, former Qantas Airways chief executive Geoff Dixon, when his term ended on June 30. The tenure of Mr Dixon, who had been given the role by the Rudd government in 2009, was marred by a very public falling out between him and current Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce in 2012.
