QLD holidays: 30% off flights, theme park deals

Queensland tourism operators are gearing up for a visitor boom, with a major new campaign offering deals on flights, accommodation and experiences.

The new Bluey’s World immersive experience, which opens in Brisbane on November 7, is driving national and global interest.

And, while Bluey’s World will take visitors inside the Heeler family’s “home, backyard and beyond”, fans can holiday in some real life locations that inspired the hit show. They include landmarks around Brisbane, beaches on the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast, and regional Queensland towns.

Tourism and Events Queensland is today launching a competition to win the ultimate holiday to Queensland, Bluey’s world for real life, alongside more than 600 holiday deals.

Qantas is launching 30 per cent off its Classic Flight Rewards from select departure ports across Australia on eligible flights to Queensland (offer ends June 9, 2024, 11.59pm AEST).

And Expedia and Wotif Australia are offering as much as 20 per cent off hotels.

Terms and conditions apply, see websites for details.
