A Qantas spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia: 'Since the Government lifted travel restrictions within Western Australia, we have seen a surge in bookings for flights to Broome.
As with all flights, the cheapest flights book out quickly. A tram goes by Flinders Street Station in Melbourne. NSW, Victoria and the ACT have no border restrictions, which is why flights between these locations are more abundant, although they are still expensive. An aerial view of Cairns in north Queensland. In a social media, Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said there would be 'plenty of good deals' once travel resumes because airlines would be keen to stimulate travel demand.
And for that reason this is never going to be a one airline town — or it wouldn't be one for long. And, frankly, the regulatory pressures on entrenched monopolies tend to make them unattractive.

Previous slide Next slide. Why Australians can't live like the French or Italians Contains:. How can you get tested on holiday to be allowed back into Australia? Broome is a small place! You have to understand that there just isn't much there.
That's exactly it. Makes for great photos, but no brochure ever mentions that there is not much in between, and absolutely nothing above or below except more desert and ocean. That's all there is to the coast of northern Western Australia, and to Broome. And regarding the tropical flair: the temperatures are tropical, the vegetation isn't.
Sure, all the resorts, backpackers and many residents planted lots of palm trees around the place, but those gardens are like little islands. Another complaint that comes up repeatedly is that it is so hard to find the things that are there.
Not enough sign posts, not enough touristy infrastructure. Probably true, and to some extent maybe even deliberate. At least wherever the locals have a say in things. Most of them aren't real happy about the way Western Australia tourism to Broome has exploded in the last few years. Not that anybody can do much about it.

And people from the east coast can be in Broome in Western Australia in a matter of hours. It's good for business, and it's great for people who live far away and want to visit Broome in Western Australia.
But the ease with which Broome can be reached now has not only increased the numbers of people visiting. The type of people has changed , too. It's people who have money to spend and want to spend it, and who are looking for a lot more comfort, amenities, entertainment and service than the hardened Outback campers, who rocked up in Broome in their battered four wheel drives in the past.
And Broome has responded. Everybody wants a slice of the pie. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Skip to primary content.
