SAFETY MATTERS KEEP ON CAMPING BOOK A CAMPING TRIP NOW AND SUPPORT OUR REGIONAL TOURISM When taking a caravan or camping trip to a regional area, you can invest money directly in local attractions, shop at local cafes and boutiques, buy seafood and groceries, and stay in local holiday parks when you visit. With our summer dominated by some of the worst bushfires on record, many people around the country have had a tough start to 2020. In the aftermath of Australia’s bushfire crisis, the ‘Keep on Camping’ initiative (https:// www.keeponcamping.com.au) is urging travellers to book a caravan or camping trip to an affected area. Booking a camping trip now provides these communities with certainty and stability that is badly needed. It doesn’t matter if you intend to leave in six weeks’ time or in five days. Stopping at a town in need is the easiest way you can help! As these towns begin to rebuild and recover from the devastating fires, tourism will be a key ingredient in not only helping local businesses to recover but in their long-term sustainability. 54 \ This type of trip delivers money directly into the hands of those who need it most and, trust us, they’d love to see you too, and not just your money. Caravanners and campers have been supporting regional tourism for longer than most; let’s continue this fine tradition and get back to our mates! The Keep on Camping website has been created to get campers back into bushfire- affected communities to help boost their recovery. We are also working with industry businesses to create special deals and camping value packs to help you find a great deal for your regional camping trip. What are you waiting for?!
