New partnership with Escabags

Hi All, we are happy to announce we have partnered with Escabags, an Australian registered charity helping victims of domestic and family abuse. 

The initiative provides free 'Escape Bags' filled with the necessities that a victim may need when initially escaping an abusive or dangerous situation. 

Our partnership has been formed to help get 'Escape Bags' in as many hotels as possible across the country. 

There is no cost to be part of this initiative. The 'Escape Bags' themselves do not need to be on display; they can be kept safely in an office or cupboard. All that we ask is that you kindly display a small poster at reception or on a noticeboard to ensure those in your community are aware that you have them available should a victim require one.

The 'Escape Bags' are provided complete and will be sent via our courier partner, so there is absolutely no cost to you. 

If you are happy to become a stockist, please fill in your details here and we will send you a box of 4 bags. 

Thank you for getting behind this great cause.

New QLD GRANT available - Tourism Adaptation Grant

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
