REGIONAL AIRFARES — MONKEY MIA AND CARNARVON
545. Hon COLIN HOLT to the minister
representing the Minister for Tourism:
I refer to question
without notice 527 asked yesterday about airfares to Monkey Mia and Carnarvon.
(1)
How much has the state government committed to marketing or advertising the
reduced fares?
(2)
Through which fund will this money be allocated?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member
for the question. The answer has been provided by the Minister for Tourism.
(1)
Tourism WA is not undertaking any specific marketing of these airfares. Both
destinations are highlighted through its social media channels. Tourism WA
provides funding to Australia's Coral Coast regional tourism
organisation to promote the region of which Carnarvon and Monkey Mia form. ACC
will promote the routes through its usual campaign activity.
