Cairns tourism operators are making a concerted effort to offer quality, unique experiences and value to tourists as the Cairns tourist industry tries to get back on its feet after the GFC, high interest rates and recently the Queensland floods, which caused a lot of travellers to put their plans off to travel to Cairns, even though we are about 1000km north of the flooding!

Can Cairns Tourism Recover from the Floods?
January 24, 2011
The Cairns community has all been very excited to see Oprah on our screens, promoting Australia over the last week and we’re all hoping it helps boost tourism in the region.
With the recent flood events that have taken place around Queensland, a lot of tourists have understandably been cancelling their trips or choosing to travel elsewhere.
Hopefully with the help of Oprah though, tourists will start to realise that it is safe to travel to our state and to our region especially, where we saw little effects from the floods.
Cairns can only hope that the floods don’t affect tourism too much, and that any dip we might have experienced, will be helped along by campaigns from Tourism Queensland and from Oprah’s Australian show.
