25.01.2022 In the toughest year many of us have ever faced, here in Cairns and The Great Barrier Reef region, on World Tourism Day, The Woodward Family CaPTA Group would l...ike to thank you for your support over these school holidays Being locally family owned and operated, we not only help our community by employing over 200 locals, but we support our schools, community groups and charities, including COUCH -Cairns Organisation United for Cancer Health, which supports locals living with and affected by cancer. Through our wildlife parks and TARC- Tropical Animal Rehabilitation Centre, we safeguard endangered species with our breeding and conservation programs, from koalas to tree roos. In the spirit of reconciliation, we have been champions of indigenous tourism and employment, with Rainforestation’s Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience safeguarding lost but refound traditions, and reconnecting the world’s oldest surviving culture with the longest surviving rainforest. #WorldTourismDay Explore Tropical North Queensland | Cairns Regional Council | Visit Queensland, Australia | Australia.com | Tropic Now
