To help boost tourism to Queensland, Tiger Airways is offering tickets to the sunshine state from just $28.95.

Tiger is offering a massive Queensland sale

Tiger Airways’ Head of Marketing and Communications, Vanessa Regan, said with most of the state’s tourism destinations unaffected by the floods, now is the right time to pay a visit.

“There is no question that Queensland is facing challenging times ahead, including those 222,000 Queenslanders that are directly employed in the tourism sector,” she said.

“The message is simple… if you want to help Queensland shine again and like the idea of getting the benefits of the lowest airfares available so that you can spend more (at the destination), then there is no better time to (visit) Queensland.”

Tiger is offering thousands of seats on sale until midnight Thursday, January 27, 2011, for travel from January 27 until June 23, depending on the route.
