AFTA rallies behind Queensland tourism

afta CEO, Jayson Westbury is rallying support for tourism to Queensland, sending a clear message to the trade to urge travellers to book a domestic holiday to the State or defer worried holiday-makers from cancelling pre-arranged trips

Speaking to e-Travel Blackboard today, Mr Westbury said the key message was simply, “How can I help?” directing the greater travel industry to get on board with ensuring correct information was relayed to travellers considering visiting popular tourism spots, most of which has been untouched by recent floods.

Mr Westbury said afta has recommended donations to be made to the Premier Fund.
