Qantas sale to encourage tourism in Geraldton
/If your friends and family have been planning their Geraldton getaway, now is the perfect time to book flights as Qantas released affordable airfares as part of their domestic network sale.
In a bid to help revive the tourism industry following the COVID-19 pandemic, Qantas’ Love Australia Sale offers affordable price points to WA regional routes including Geraldton, Broome and Exmouth.
One-way flights from Perth to Geraldton will be available from August through to October, with the sale on now and ending this Friday 10 July.
City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn thanked Qantas for their proactive efforts in encouraging people to travel north.
“Everyone has been extremely impacted by COVID-19 but we are doing all we can to boost our economy, especially the tourism sector,” he said.
“We’ve implemented an Economic Development Relief Recovery Strategy to help stimulate tourism and the economy in our region which has included the launch of our ‘Adventure Awaits’ campaign.
“The campaign is encouraging people to explore their own backyard and having the Coral Coast as front of mind for those travelling north.
“We applaud Qantas for offering these amazing deals to help encourage travellers to our region and to help boost many of the regions who are struggling at the moment,” he added.
Embracing Geraldton as the ‘hub’ to explore the Midwest region, the Houtman Abrolhos Islands, Pink Lake and Kalbarri are not far.
“Travelling to Geraldton and basing yourself here means you can explore some amazing places which are all in close proximity,” Mayor Van Styn added.
“While you can explore what beautiful sunny Geraldton has to offer, you can also visit our friends in Kalbarri to experience their brand new Skywalk and check out the Pink Lake along the way.
“Or take a trip to the breathtaking Abrolhos Islands.”
