Summary

Quicksilver Connections Ltd - proposed acquisition of Great Adventures Pty Ltd

Market definition

The supply of single-day Reef tours in the Cairns and Port Douglas regions.

Competition analysis

On 19 July 2005, the ACCC decided not to oppose the proposed acquisition of Great Adventures by Quicksilver Connections. The ACCC considered that retail agents and consumers would have a large number of alternative tour operators to which they could switch in the Cairns/Port Douglas reef tour regions, such that the proposed acquisition is unlikely to substantially lessen competition pursuant to section 50 of the Act.
