Lockdowns and border restrictions did little to deter interstate tourists from enjoying a Sunshine Coast Christmas break.
Noosa’s leading tourism body Tourism Noosa confirmed the region enjoyed a massive increase in December visitors on the previous year.
The average daily occupancy rate improved by a huge 14.28 per cent.
“While 2021 has not started off as smoothly as we were all hoping with Covid clusters and uncertainty with borders changing, it has been nice to see Noosa so busy over the festive season,” Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said. Data revealed Victorian and New South Wales visitors made up close to 10 per cent of total visitors to Noosa in December last year. Picture: Daniel Kiritsis.
