Brisbane Tourism News: New Virgin Australia Route a Boost for Local Tourism

The launch today of new Virgin Australia direct return flights from Port Macquarie to Brisbane will provide a much needed boost to local tourism in both destinations.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Accommodation Association of Australia, Richard Munro, congratulated Virgin Australia for adding more services to regional areas, and the Federal Government for its investment in local airport infrastructure which has made this new route possible.

"Accommodation and tourism operators in these areas welcome the new flights, which allow greater access for more international and domestic travellers to NSW's beautiful mid-north coast, and all that Brisbane has to offer," said Mr Munro.

"It is great to see Virgin Australia expanding into these emerging regional areas, where hard working local accommodation and tourism operators are ready and waiting to welcome guests. Making it easier for international travellers to visit more of Australia's unique destinations, and for Australians to holiday and travel within Australia will provide a boost to our home-grown domestic tourism industry. This also helps to boost to the economy of Australia as a whole."
