Hervey Bay Tourism
It was interesting to look at the number of No Vacancy signs that were out along The Esplanade this weekend and also to look at the number of people in the caravan parks too.
Perhaps business was not quite as brisk this weekend compared to this time last year but the increases in petrol prices don’t seem to have bitten quite as hard as one might expect. Of course there are those who suggest that Hervey Bay tourism is rather insulated from petrol price increases because we are so close to Brisbane but sooner or later the cost of petrol is going to have an impact on the family budget.
When that happens it won’t matter how close we are to Brisbane, people will simply be opting to holiday at home.
The coming weeks through to the start of whale season will also be interesting to watch and this will be the time that impact of the jets coming into Hervey Bay will be more noticeable.
