Holiday on great deals
QUEENSLAND tourism operators have been delivered a $1m cash injection in just 24 hours thanks to a new campaign offering $75 flights and up to 50 per cent discounts within the Sunshine State.
The Great Queensland Getaway, run by Tourism and Events Queensland and promoted by News Corp’s Queensland mastheads, launched on Monday.
By Tuesday morning, nearly 5000 tours and experiences totalling more than $1m in sales had been booked across the state.
The campaign runs until October 31 or until the sold out.
Tourism and Events Queensland CEO Leanne Coddington encouraged Queenslanders to start exploring their state.
“There’s around 470 tourism businesses right across the state offering deals through this campaign, meaning Queenslanders can really get out and explore something they haven’t done before,” Ms Coddington said.
“There’s also airfares and bus passes to get you from one end of the state to the other, and holiday packages offering great value – so your holiday plans are easily sorted.
“This campaign will be on sale until next Sunday, October 31, unless it’s sold out sooner, so Queenslanders are encouraged to plan and book their next holiday quickly.
“It’s a great opportunity to take a break now or during the festive season, right through until school holidays end in January.”
