One of Australia’s largest adventure tourism companies, Intrepid Travel, has today announced a strategic partnership with Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ) and Tourism Australia in an effort to encourage Aussie travellers to holiday here this year and explore their own backyard.

The partnership encourages travellers to come and immerse themselves in unique Queensland tourism experiences right across the state.

“Although international travel is unavailable for the foreseeable future in Australia, in the meantime there is so much to see and do right here in our own country. Queensland is ready and open to visitors and we are thrilled to be partnering with TEQ to help raise awareness and spread the message to our Australian travellers”, says Sarah Clark, Managing Director APAC of Intrepid Travel.

TEQ CEO Leanne Coddington said this partnership aligned well with Intrepid’s focus on sustainable and responsible travel.

“Queensland’s evolving brand taps into people’s desire to connect with Queensland’s incredible natural assets and this partnership allows us to speak directly to Intrepid’s highly engaged audiences and further amplify our highly successful Good to Go campaign,” Ms Coddington said.

“This means we can be even more targeted in our marketing activity and encourage more travellers to book a holiday to Queensland.

“As part of this campaign we will be highlighting our incredible natural assets, including Queensland’s greatest natural wonder – the Great Barrier Reef – the world’s largest sand island, Fraser Island, the picture perfect Whitsunday Islands, the oldest living rainforest in the Daintree and the enriching Indigenous experiences on offer across the state.”

In conjunction with the partnership, Intrepid Travel will be releasing seven new Queensland tours for Australians to take advantage of. The tour company will also be offering 10 per cent off their entire Queensland range for all new bookings made between 15th May – 30 June 2021 with travel dates departing up to 30 June 2022.

A sample of tours available include;

Travellers will learn about hunting native plants from a First Nations guide, encounter crocodiles and colourful birds on a cruise through mangrove thickets and walk under heavy green canopy in Mossman Gorge.
