AN international tourism boom could be heading Queensland's way.

Premier Campbell Newman says key overseas export partners are predicting unprecedented growth in the state's tourism market.

This is partly fuelled by a 32 per cent rise in the number of visitors from China.

Mr Newman has returned from a two-week plus trade mission to the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, China and Japan.

"We are on the cusp of a tourism investment boom," he said.

"We have seen great interest in tourism and agriculture."

Mr Newman said new tourism investments are popping up along the state's coast, including in Port Douglas, Cairns, Hayman Island, the Whitsundays, Yeppoon and the Sunshine Coast.

He's confident airlines will be persuaded to expand their services.

Mr Newman said there were also signs of a resurgence in Japan's economy and strong growth in China, which should sustain growth in the mining sector.
