Ms Young said the next 24 to 48 hours could determine if greater Melbourne would be determined a Covid hotspot as authorities there worked to determine the type of infection.
Greater Melbourne and Sydney are the key targets of the Coast’s February bookings push through the Ignite Travel Group.
Visit Sunshine Coast CEO Matt Stoeckel said the aim of the promotion was to drive visitors to the region for the “shoulder periods” in the lead-up to Easter. In the lead up to Easter the Coast is going after southerners with value-for-money stays.
“For many Sydneysiders that missed out on a break over Christmas, now is a great opportunity for them take advantage of some great packages on offer and book a Sunshine Coast holiday,” Mr Stoeckel said.
