The Palaszczuk government has announced it will extend financial support for tourism businesses in Cairns.
Tourism operators have not had to pay fees to berth at Cairns Marlin Marina since February last year and are currently receiving rebates of 50% on ticket prices.
Member for Cairns, Michael Healy, says international travel is unlikely to resume “in any significant capacity” until 2022 and tourism operators had been depending on international visitors until the COVID pandemic.
