“It is terrific that we are supporting this latest Queensland sale from Virgin Australia, a proven partner in previous campaigns, that have been so successful in getting people to book a holiday in Queensland.
“More than 260,000 Queenslanders are employed by tourism, that’s why sales like this are so important in our strategy to get people to come and enjoy all of Queensland’s incredible visitor experiences.
“At a time when we are facing challenging cost-of-living pressures, this offer presents the perfect opportunity for Aussies to take that holiday they deservedly need, without breaking the budget.”
Quotes attributable to Tourism and Events Queensland CEO Patricia O’Callaghan:
“This is a great chance to book that break you’ve been wanting, with very competitive airfares to get you on your Queensland holiday.
“With three quarters of Aussies really needing a holiday, and travel intentions to Queensland on the rise this spring, we are certain these airfares will be snapped up with great enthusiasm.
“There are so many wonderful reasons to book that trip, from awesome events on now like Toowoomba’s Carnival of Flowers and the Brisbane Festival, to nabbing an early new year trip to experience the Brisbane International or Magic Millions, to soaking up spring and summer in the Sunshine State, our magical rainforests, coral spawning on the Great Barrier Reef, turtle hatching season and so much more on nature’s calendar.”
