There is a new grant available to help businesses affected by COVID. This is different from the adaptation grant released earlier this year.
The COVID-19 International Tourism Adaptation Grant - Queensland’s tourism businesses will be supported to pivot to a domestic market or hibernate until international markets reopen.
Grants from a minimum of $2,000 to a maximum of $10,000 (excluding GST) are available to tourism businesses in regional Queensland who can demonstrate they have suffered losses of income because of the international travel restrictions.
The key objectives of the COVID-19 International Tourism Adaptation Grant program are to assist tourism businesses to:
- Pivot their product, service and/or marketing to a domestic tourism market
- Meet operating costs while the business hibernates until international markets reopen.
Regional Queensland in this case includes GC and Sunshine Coast. Headquarters be located in Queensland and operate outside of the Brisbane City Council, Redlands City Council, Logan City Council, Ipswich City Council and Moreton Bay Regional Council boundaries
You are ineligible if you received funding through the Small Business Adaption Grant from the Queensland Government
