The Festival of Free is the latest in a string of recent campaigns to stimulate tourism recovery and keep Queensland top of mind in a competitive global market.
TEQ CEO Patricia O’Callaghan said this campaign is aimed at helping families take a Sunshine State holiday despite economic pressures.
“We want Aussie families to be able to take that Queensland holiday even though times are tough and that’s why we, together with our partners, My Queensland, dreamed up the Festival of Free,” she said.
“These great holiday packages will bring welcome relief to Aussies families and bolster tourism businesses around the state – many small family businesses themselves.
“Queensland is Australia’s number-one holiday destination and we are laser-focused on holding that strong position.”
