SeaLink Travel Group has announced a deal to purchase Fraser Island’s Kingfisher Bay Resort Group for $43 million as part of a major expansion in Queensland.
The acquisition includes two resorts on the island – Kingfisher Bay Resort and Eurong Beach Resort – as well as local operator Fraser Explorer Tours and the Fraser Island Ferry business operating between Hervey Bay and the island’s west side.
The group has also announced it will open a Brisbane hub to support its growing Queensland operations, with the backing of the state’s government.
