Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ) and Australia’s most iconic tourism brands are banding together in a three-month marketing push to boost the region post-cyclone Debbie.
Tourism Minister Kate Jones said the marketing push includes $1 million worth of support to sell Queensland holiday destinations interstate.
“TEQ and Flight Centre will invest $1 million in marketing activity with a strong focus on the Whitsundays region.
“The three-month campaign will be supported by Virgin Australia and Infinity Holidays.
“On offer will be discounted airfares when a minimum of four nights of selected accommodation is booked across the Whitsundays, Gold Coast, and Tropical North Queensland.” Ms Jones said.
Whitsunday Regional Mayor Andrew Willcox said the campaign was an important incentive for the region and the Whitsundays had a lot to offer tourists.
“This is a fantastic incentive being offered by Flight Centre and the Whitsundays is ready to offer our visitors a truly memorable experience,” Mayor Willcox said.
“We have already seen positive visitor numbers over the Easter break but we encourage more travellers to take advantage of the cheap flights through Flight Centre and help us to fully revive the Whitsunday economy.”
"This campaign will highlight that the key tourist regions are well and truly open for business, as well as delivering tangible savings to travellers who are planning to take off to Queensland's holiday hotspots over the next few months."
