A new AirAsia service between Bangkok and Brisbane starting in June 2019 is forecast to inject up to $156 million to the Queensland economy over the next three years.
This new route will help to open up Asia and improve connectivity for visitors from key Eastern markets, boosting tourism in the state.
Tourism Industry Development Minister Kate Jones, says this is a great opportunity to attract visitors from other destinations across Asia and will play a role in boosting visitation from Thailand, one of Queensland’s emerging markets with great potential for growth.
