As a part of the Palaszczuk Government’s COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan for tourism, the Great Queensland Getaway campaign is expected to generate $80 million for tourism businesses throughout Queensland.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk stated in October that “we’re working hard to find new ways to support tourism businesses to make it through these challenging times”.

“There’s never been a better excuse to book a Queensland holiday”.

The Whitsunday region, after enduring two years of COVID-19 induced economic hardships, is thrilled to prosper in 2022 and welcome interstate and Queensland holidaymakers to island paradise. Australians are being urged to book their very own Great Queensland Getaway before the holiday packages and deals sell out!

From island-hopping catamaran luxury, adventurous smooth sailing, and action-packed days on the water exploring the Great Barrier Reef, Sailing Whitsundays is excited to show you the lush Whitsunday Island magic! Be sure to explore our range of Whitsunday deals on sale here.
