“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,” Chief Executive Officer, Tourism and Events Queensland, Patricia O’Callaghan, said.
“Kids can fly free these great holiday packages, plus options to stay, play and eat free, which will bring welcome relief to Aussies families but also bolster tourism businesses around the state – many of whom are small family businesses themselves.
“What’s more, if you don’t have kids, there’s also deals available for you too.
“This is the latest in a string of campaigns we’ve launched this year to keep Queensland top of mind in what is no doubt an incredibly competitive global travel marketplace. Queensland is Australia’s number one holiday destination and we are laser-focused on holding that strong position,” O’Callaghan, said.
“At My Queensland we set ourselves apart by offering our guests only the best Queensland holiday perfectly packaged at an unbeatable price,” Ryan Thomas, CEO My Queensland, said.
“Our Festival of Free campaign, in partnership with TEQ, takes this to a new level with free flights for kids and extra kid freebies such as hotel stays, local experiences, dining and more. Plus exclusive airfares for the whole family.
“My Queensland’s Festival of Free reinforces our passion and dedication to delivering a unique offering whilst making holidays affordable, stress free and memorable,” Thomas said.
The Festival of Free is on sale from today until 31 May, unless sold out sooner. There are also packages available for families, couples and other travellers without kids, including exclusive airfares and unbeatable package prices.
