Campaign: Keep Townsville North Queensland Shining

We all know the adage is true, ‘you can’t be what you can’t see.’

With social media use at an all-time high thanks to social distancing restrictions, Townsville Enterprise is flipping this concept on its head and reminding people that ‘you can do what you can see…one day soon’ with daily inspirational travel stories, content and experiences on its social media channels to keep Townsville North Queensland shining.

Here’s how you can leverage our current leisure and tourism campaign:

  1. Virtual Stay-cation Social Series

Live croc-feeding shows, recipe tips and tricks from award-winning local Chefs or a tour of the Great Barrier Reef from your couch are all fun and unique experiences we’re sharing with our followers on Instagram and Facebook to keep Townsville a must-visit destination post COVID-19.

Engagement with these unique posts has far exceeded our expectations, highlighting that there is a genuine desire to see, feel, hear and sample more of what or region offers and we’re excited to continue the social series for the next few weeks at least.

Feel free to share this content on your own social media platforms to help us keep Townsville North Queensland shining, or contact us on [email protected] if you would like brainstorm ideas to help promote your business and keep you top of mind.

  1. Buy Now Holiday Later

Encourage your friends and family to plan their isolation escape now and take part in our Buy Now, Holiday Later initiative.

Simply visit Townsville North Queensland and choose from a wide range of holiday packages or buy a gift voucher to book your next holiday in one (or more) of the region’s many premium destinations… but enjoy it within two years* once restrictions are lifted.

When you Buy Now, Holiday Later, it’s a powerful pledge to stay and play in our paradise and help the region get back on track when it reopens for business.

We're encouraging all of North Queensland to band together and to support local, and explore local (when the time is right!).

Townsville Enterprise is not intimidated by the outlook on our road to recovery in the leisure and tourism industry.

We are already preparing a comprehensive marketing and communications campaign in preparation for our region’s relaunch and are dedicated to ensuring we work with you every step of the way to rebuild our region. We look forward to revealing more on these campaigns and positive plans when the time is right.
