Tourism Australia Domestic Campaign Launch – Australians urged to book a holiday at home to drive tourism boost
Posted on October 13th, 2020
Tourism Australia has launched the next iteration of the Holiday Here This Year campaign.
The Holiday Here This Year campaign was launched in January 2020 to support the bushfire recovery by urging Australians to take a domestic holiday and provide a much-needed boost to tourism operators and communities around the country.
This next iteration of the Holiday Here This Year campaign involves a strategic two-phased approach that started with the roll out of an inspirational teaser video which was released last Friday, and will be followed with a television commercial that encourages Australians to start booking and planning a domestic holiday.
The campaign is fronted by two of our most iconic homegrown personalities, Hamish Blake and Zoe Foster-Blake, and a key focus of the campaign will be on encouraging Australians to travel like international travellers. Not just book a holiday, but also a tour or tourism experience. The campaign will continue to showcase some of the worst-hit bushfire areas, along with popular tourism destinations that have been badly impacted as a result of COVID-19.
