Coral Sea plan welcomed in UK

By admin


 

The Australian government's move to establish the world's largest marine reserve in the Coral Sea has been welcomed by UK travel operator Dialaflight as a "positive step" which could strengthen tourism along the Queensland coast.
The proposed plans, announced in late November and currently subject to a 90-day consultation period, would protect an area approximately 989,842 sq km under environmental law.
"If the plans are given the go-ahead, we'd expect tourist numbers in the area to increase," a spokesman for the company said.
"Our customers, who enquire about travelling in Australia, always express an interest in seeing the country's rich wildlife, especially those with young children."
