Mei-ling Lee pioneered cultural tourism in Australia, incorporating tourism education into a profitable tourism business, bringing new economic opportunities to regional Australia. Head-hunted by the Singapore Tourism Commission, in five years Mei-ling transformed the island nation's tourism business. She now returns to Australia to bring a new dimension of profitability to the Arts in Cooksland by linking it to the economics of cultural tourism. Mei-ling soon finds, however, that the internal politics of the Cooksland tourism elite place one block after another in the way of her ambitious plan.
