Let’s Put Your Business On The Map

How your business WILL benefit from domestic tourism

 

With over 800,000 government subsidised half-priced domestic flights, there are many opportunities for your brand to gain business from a wave of travelling Australians.

Australian airlines such as Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin Australia and Rex are offering cheaper flights to take advantage of the lessened travelling restrictions. It will bolster the tourism industry primarily through a rush of new business from interstate travellers. This accompanied with state incentives such as NSW Government’s Dine & Discover vouchers means your customer has access to funds ready to spend with you TODAY.

Your brand could be benefitting from new customers, particularly if you’re in the arts and culture, tourism, food, or entertainment industries. With an effective marketing strategy, you WILL attract new customers ready to spend and enjoy your services.

 

How are you advertising that you’re open for business to out of town or state travellers headed your way?

Opportunities like this don’t come very often and you’ll need to act quickly if you want to make the most of it…

 

“You have to take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime in the lifetime of the opportunity.”

– Eric Thomas (American Motivational Speaker)

Are Customers Ready To Travel?

 

Recent search data reveals that customers are looking to leave clustered areas. Google trends shows Australians looking for travel vouchers, passes and bundles for a chance to escape their homes and experience COVID-free destinations at cheaper prices. In the last month the TOP FIVE Google searches associated with travel by Australians were related to:

 

 

What does this indicate? Well, essentially the government promotions are working! People are showing interest in travelling interstate in high numbers.

Over the Easter period Qantas and Virgin saw booming ticket sales that matched 2019 levels.

 

Virgin “posted its best day of domestic bookings in its 20-year history last Thursday [1 April] with 71,000 travellers snapping up half-priced flights rolled out by the federal government.” (Source: The Australian)

 

This means that there is an influx of Australians moving both within states and interstate. So, your brand should prepare accordingly to take advantage of new business from spending travellers.

 

Further Government Support Means Further Opportunity

 

The NSW Government recently launched Dine & Discover vouchers. These are vouchers that grant NSW residents up to 4x $25 dollars to spend at hundreds of dining, arts and tourism businesses across the state. Brands are already promoting these vouchers to attract customers to their venues.

What have you got planned?

Check out The Rocks’ website to see how they are specifically promoting businesses in the area for customers to dine and discover in one of Sydney’s most popular precincts.

If your brand welcomes these vouchers, you should ABSOLUTELY be taking advantage of it and promoting it.

Not only this, but the NSW government’s tourism support package includes 200,000 vouchers for hotels worth $100 each to stimulate the travel/leisure industry even further!
