A luxurious Australian getaway won t have to break the bank thanks to a huge travel sale that is slashing hundreds of dollars off flights and accommodation packages.
MAJOR Far North reef tourism operator Quicksilver will start shedding staff from today as it suffers the pronounced absence of international visitors and the looming end of the Jobkeeper wage subsidy. Quicksilver group managing director Tony Baker said the cruise company relied on international tourists for 70 per cent of its revenue and forecasts on when global travel might kickstart were gloomy. He would not confirm the number of casual staff who were told today their jobs were gone, but said Quicksilver currently employed 450 people. It is obviously a difficult time and unfortunately we have to say goodbye to some wonderful people, Mr Baker said.
