“We would like to thank all of the South Australians who logged in today – effectively helping to book rooms by December 11 – this is the kind of support that will give hotel staff and operators tourist a huge reason to smile this morning

« We are now eagerly awaiting where South Australians book their stay – will they choose one of the city’s new five star hotels or maybe head to the regions There are plenty of amazing deals out there and iconic accommodation properties so this is a great way for everyone to get out and explore our own state »

« There is a very wide range of options to suit all tastes and budgets, and they are all aimed at getting people to stay overnight and spend. Everything we’ve heard from operators, c ‘is that if we can increase the number of visits to the city and the regions, we can expect to see people spend more on experiences, eat out and explore the region, while staying longer, ”he said. he declared

People who have redeemed a voucher now have two weeks – until October 31 – to use their unique verification code to book a room with one of the participating accommodation providers
