With strict international travel bans and border closures, the Queensland tourism industry has been suffering more than most since COVID-19.

The Queensland Government is offering a $5 million COVID-19 International Tourism Adaptation Grant, a key element of the Queensland Economic Recovery Strategy: Unite and Recover for Queensland Jobs to help accelerate the State’s recovery from COVID-19. The program will assist Queensland tourism businesses to pivot to a domestic market or hibernate until international markets reopen.

This funding boost aims to support regional Queensland tourism businesses that have suffered losses of income because of the international travel restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The tourism business headquarters must be located in Queensland and primarily operate outside the Greater Brisbane Area of Brisbane City Council, Redlands City Council, Logan City Council, Ipswich City Council and Moreton Bay Regional Council boundaries.

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.

Applications opened on Friday, 2 October 2020. The program will close once all funding has been allocated.

To apply visit the QRIDA application portal.

Recently I came on board as a client, and cannot recommend Angela highly enough. To date, my experience with Angela and the team has been fantastic and I would not hesitate in providing a referral. I have been impressed with the prompt return of calls and emails, and have had all work completed within our agreed time frames. The valuable taxation and small business advice I have received has been incredibly useful and provided me with support and guidance on my personal and business journey. If you are looking for a Tax Accountant or Advisor, don't hesitate in making the move over to Crest.

I cannot commend Crest Advisors lending team enough. As first home owners, we found the place we wanted and knew we had to find someone to make our loan happen. Dion & Nat, not only had fantastic communication & correspondance, they worked with us on finding what we wanted and helped us secure our first home. The were patient & explained everything as we were completely new to it all. They gave us direction and guidance in what we needed and were very thorough with what they needed.We cannot thank Dion & Nat enough and highly reccomend them to anyone.
