Comments attributed to Tourism Minister Rita Saffioti:
"Our Government is proud
to continue to support the Kimberley tourism industry in working towards full
recovery for both tourism operators and the region's broader economy from last
year's flooding.
"I really urge our
community, as well as tourists from interstate and abroad, to consider
including a trip to the Kimberley as part of their travel plans this year - a
trip that's even more attractive now with these discounted airfares and other
incentives.
"It comes only a few
months after we reached a really important milestone in the flood recovery,
with the opening of the new Fitzroy River Bridge more than six months ahead of
schedule - an incredible achievement by all involved."

Regional Development Minister Don Punch:
"The 'Kimberley Season
Pass' is another important step towards driving more visitors back into this
remarkable part of our State.
"We continue to do
what we can to support our local operators who have been impacted by this
year's unseasonal flooding, and this package is another example of that."

ever for Western Australians, and out-of-state visitors to travel and
experience all our incredible region has to offer.

unique natural attractions and cultural experiences, we look forward to
welcoming visitors from across the country to take advantage of these discounts
and support the Kimberley tourism sector."
