Tourism Australia has issued an update on the aftermath of Cyclone Yasi to help agents deal with client enquiries.

The cyclone crossed the Queensland coast yesterday but caused less damage than was forecast.

According to Tourism Australia:

– Cairns and the Whitsundays have avoided the worst of the cyclone with very limited damage

– Townsville, Tully, Mission Beach, Ingham and Innisfail have been damaged to varying degrees

– Most airports between Mackay and Cairns have opened, or will open tomorrow morning. However, please check with carriers for the most up to date information on flight schedules and airport operations

– Destinations that have not been affected by the cyclone include the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Fraser Coast, Bundaberg, Gladstone, Agnes Water, 1770, Queensland’s Outback, Southern Downs and Granite Belt – all are ready to welcome visitors

– Brisbane, the Darling Downs and Capricorn region are now recovering from the floods, earlier this month, with most tourism operations open and running normally.
