The impacts of the January bushfires and then travel restrictions have been widely felt throughout South Australia, but especially those regional towns and small businesses that count on tourism for survival. Many of these communities are starting out on the road to recovery and welcoming visitors back to their regions is one of the best ways to bolster regeneration efforts.That’s where you come in.
Travelling to these areas and staying, eating and exploring locally all mean that your support goes directly to small business owners, residents and economies. When planning on where to go and what you’ll do while your there, there is no better advice to take up than that passed on by those who know best. Use their tips and recommendations as all the encouragement you need to book your trip, and then spend your time away uncovering other hidden gems and treasures – that you might then pay forward to friends and family.
