Return of Japanese charters

In October Cairns will welcome the first charter flights of Japanese international high school students since 2015. Three schools will send groups of students to experience two-night farm stays in the Tablelands, followed by time in Cairns to enjoy the Skyrail or the Great Barrier Reef.

The combination of experiential learning in a World Heritage environment together with English language study is what made Cairns the chosen destination for JTB Corporation who are coordinating the charters.

TEQ's Japan team will work with JTB Corporation to continue to position Queensland as an edu-tourism destination and attract more groups like this.
