Cairns miffed by Jetstar travel review
A Jetstar travel review on its website that makes fun of Cairns will be modified, the airline says.
The blurb, taken from the Lonely Planet Guide, describes the city’s retail areas as “bursting with Ken Done clothes and stuffed koalas”.
It says its esplanade lagoon is “an attempt to make up for the fact that waterfront Cairns doesn’t actually have a beach”.
Queensland tourism minister Jan Jarratt said in a statement to AAP, “I do find it perplexing and I am pursuing a meeting with Jetstar to determine the company’s rationale in this approach.â€
But Jetstar said it would review the material.
“No harm was intended. Cairns is an extremely popular destination for our customers,” said a Jetstar spokeswoman.
