Fraser Coast tourism struggles post-Tropical Cyclone Alfred

Tourism on the Fraser Coast is struggling to recover after Tropical Cyclone Alfred caused significant damage. Many businesses, including Fraser Island Retreat, have seen cancellations and closures, impacting the region's $900 million tourism revenue. Access to K'gari remains restricted, with several campsites and roads closed due to storm damage. Accommodation providers are facing challenges, with some still without power and others unable to reopen, affecting bookings ahead of the busy Easter period. Local businesses are incurring additional costs from refunds and repairs. Community members are working together to address the damage, while some residents have sought emergency housing assistance due to the storm's impact.
