Cairns could host more beach volleyball tournaments after a positive response to the Olympic qualifying round event to be held this weekend.
Volleyball Australia event manager and Cairns Volleyball president Baz Wedmaier said he had been buoyed by the support he had received for the tournament.
“This whole thing came together in the past 12 weeks. The council has been phenomenal in allowing us to bring an Olympic-level event to Cairns,” he said.
“I wouldn’t have this sort of support if I was in a major capital. It wouldn’t happen.”
He said there was no way to undersell the “fantastic” weekend of sport on offer.
