SA Tourism Grants Available Up to $500,000

From the drought to the bushfires and then COVID-19, 2020 has been a challenging year for those South Australian businesses in the tourism industry. 

To bounce back, tourism businesses need to improve and diversify their offering to remain sustainable and increase visitor demand for their product offering. To achieve this, funding is often one of the most difficult challenges.

The recently announced Tourism Industry Development Fund by the South Australian State Government has been developed to help address this challenge by providing grants from $20,000 to $500,000 (excluding GST) with a maximum of 30 per cent State Government grant of the total project value.

The fund intends to:

  • Improve tourism infrastructure and experiences that appeal to target markets
  • Grow economic benefit via increased visitor expenditure
  • Create new jobs and develop skills
  • Encourage further development by the private sector in infrastructure and visitor facilities
  • Encourage businesses to working collaboratively
  • Implement sustainable business practices1

Many businesses in the South Australian Wine Industry would be eligible. So, if you’ve been thinking about building accommodation to support your cellar door or developing a new immersive cellar door experience, then this grant could turn your idea into a reality.
