Funding boost for WA tourism and regional aviation
The WA State Government recently announced a $12.85 million package to support the local tourism industry. The package includes the $2.85 million recently announced to drive more interstate and intrastate travellers to holiday in Western Australia, in response to east coast bushfires and the coronavirus. Almost $5 million will be spent immediately on initiatives to encourage travellers to holiday in WA. Road trip campaigns, bucket list natural experiences, and food and wine trails will be the focus of the marketing push. An $8 million fund will also be made available for the State Government to collaborate with airlines on affordable regional airfare initiatives on key routes for residents and visitors. The new package will build on the success of affordable airfares to Exmouth, Monkey Mia, Carnarvon, Broome, Esperance and Albany, and the direct flights scheduled to begin shortly between Busselton and Melbourne, and Kununurra and Melbourne.
