TTF has also welcomed the announcement from the Queensland Government to help entice visitors to Cairns, as part of a $5 million recovery package, jointly funded by the Federal Government.
TTF Chief Executive, Margy Osmond commented “this is exactly what tourism operators in Far North Queensland need, after a devastating Christmas and New Year period, with close to $300 million in bookings cancelled since early December.”
Osmond urged Australians to show their support for the local community and book a discounted Qantas or Jetstar flight now available to Cairns from around Australia, starting at just $79.
Osmond also welcomed the discounted accommodation packages, which will be available in coming weeks.
