New funding to help Territory tourism businesses capitalise on the international travel market is now available.
The Territory Labor Government announced the International Restart Support Fund today with grants of up to $15,000 available to support Northern Territory tourism businesses return to the international market.
As part of the initiative applicants are required to make a cash contribution with the Territory Government investing $3 for every dollar invested by the tourism business.
The fund is available for NT tourism businesses planning to enter the international market for the first time as well as tourism businesses wanting to re-enter the international market.
NT tourism businesses that are entering or returning to the international market can apply to engage consultants to determine international marketing potential, and assist with export marketing and planning.
NT tourism businesses who were previously active in international markets prior to 20 March 2020 can also apply for support to:
· undertake international marketing campaigns
· outsource marketing creative materials
· develop or modify websites and social media channels for international audiences
· participate in or provide face-to-face or virtual events and international tradeshows targeted at international visitors
· undertake in-market sales calls with travel trade
· proceed with international marketing and promotional activities endorsed by Tourism NT
Grant applications will receive quick responses to ensure NT tourism business and offerings can be in international markets as soon as possible as we head towards the NT’s peak tourism season.
Grant applications for the International Restart Support Fund close midnight, Saturday 30 April 2022.
