With the school holidays underway, the latest Wotif.com data shows travel interest for the Whitsundays is up close to 110%* on the site.

Wotif Managing Director, Daniel Finch said:

  • “With Airlie Beach making its way into the school holiday top ten and airlines increasing intrastate flight capacity, we’re seeing promising demand for Cairns and Proserpine, proving the September school holidays is the perfect opportunity for Queenslanders to explore the Tropical North.”
  • “We know the Whitsundays is one of Australia’s most sought after domestic destinations, but it’s great to see intrastate travel interest is high. Queenslanders are fortunate to have one of the most diverse backyards to explore, and it’s great to see families are embracing the warmer spring weather and remain committed to backing their own state.”
