Grab your favourite pair of sunnies
and look up: Cairns is set to shine in
2018. From property to agriculture,
the health sector to tourism, the
Tropic team has rounded up a long
list of reasons the Tropical North
will have its strongest year since the
GFC hit a decade ago.
Since our launch in 2016, we’ve been
buoyant about our collective future
at a time when it wasn’t the most
popular view to take. Property
prices were flat, tourism was in a
state of flux and Crystalbrook
Collection hadn’t arrived on the
scene yet. But we could see green
shoots back then, and promoted
them on these pages and online at
TropicNow.com.au.
Fast forward to the present, and
we’re on the cusp of seeing that
optimism deliver some results.
Check out this special 8-page report
to find out why.
