BEHIND EVERY GREAT GETAWAY IS A COMMUNITY MAKING IT HAPPEN.
Ever thought about how many people help make a holiday memorable? Next time you plan a getaway, think beyond where you'll stay. 👨🍳
There's the person welcoming you to your accommodation, the chef preparing your meal, the guide sharing local knowledge, the shop owner selling handmade goods and the team keeping our beaches and attractions ready for visitors. 🧭
Tourism connects all these people and businesses, creating employment, supporting families and opening doors for young people to gain skills and build careers in hospitality and tourism. 📊
And its impact doesn't stop in our towns. When travellers venture beyond the usual destinations, they create opportunities for rural communities, emerging entrepreneurs and local cultural experiences to grow. 🦒
That's why supporting local tourism matters. Booking directly with local establishments, buying from local producers, choosing local guides and recommending small businesses can all help keep these opportunities alive. 🪘
