An exciting week last week with the arrival of the first Bonza flight from Sunshine Coast. Increased tourist visitation to the region and increased access for locals will be a positive for our members and the broader community.
Cruise ships continue to be a strong economic driver for the Airlie Beach and surrounds, please make our seafaring guests welcome if you are in the area.
