Accommodation Australia CEO, Michael Johnson said cancellations throughout December were extensive with occupancies dropping from mid-70 percent down to 30 percent, impacting millions of dollars of revenue decline on the industry.
“Far North Queensland has taken a blow in recent years with the pandemic and destructive weather events, but Cairns and the surrounding areas are ready to welcome back tourists and this package is great news for the area,” he said.
“All tourism operators are back operating daily on the reef and with discounted airfares and accommodation there is no better time to go and experience this stunning location and what it has to offer.”
