Cancel Bookings Fast, Queensland Tells Sydney December 21, 2020 Updated: December 21, 2020
The Queensland government is urging Sydneysiders to cancel their holiday bookings as soon as possible ahead of an expected rush of travellers from other states.
Sydneysiders whose holiday plans have been dashed by Queensland’s border closure are being told to urgently cancel their bookings so others can snap them up.
Queensland’s acting Tourism Minister Scott Stewart says holiday accommodation is hard to find in the state.
“We’re expecting strong interest from interstate and Queensland holidaymakers in snapping up cancelled bookings from Greater Sydney,” he said on Tuesday.
“Swift cancellations … will mean those who have missed out will be able to secure bookings and accommodation providers are less likely to be left out of pocket.”
