Australia – 9 December 2021: With the re-opening of the Queensland border on 13 December, Australia's largest independent sustainably-led five-star hospitality group, Crystalbrook Collection, has launched a series of luxurious holiday packages to celebrate East Coasters' new travel freedoms and help them shift from wanderlust-ing to 'getting their holiday on'.
The border re-opening allows vaccinated Australian East Coast residents to travel from tip to toe across three states, and the sustainable hotel group welcomes New South Welshman and Victorians back to Queensland, while opening the door to Queenslanders seeking a southern summertime escape to New South Wales.
Geoff York, CEO of Crystalbrook Collection, says “we're thrilled to be welcoming back so many Australians to our sustainably led hotels, especially with the festive season and summer break approaching. Now's the perfect time to pack your bags and experience the best of Australia, from stunning Tropical North Queensland all the way down to Sydney.”
For total peace of mind, all packages offer flexible cancellation up to a day prior to check-in, so travellers can breathe easy and get ready to #HolidayHereThisYear.
