15.01.2022 WA Tourism Recovery Program - Eligible small tourism businesses including accommodation providers, tour and transport operators and tourism attractions or experience businesses with annual Australian taxable wages of less than $1 million, have the opportunity to apply for a $6,500 cash payment. The payment can be used for a range of fixed costs and recovery expenses outlined in the WA Tourism Recovery Fund Guidelines https://www.tourism.wa.gov.au//WA-Tourism-Recovery-Program

15.01.2022 COVID-19 has been devastating for WA tourism - with thousands of small businesses impacted all around the State. It has been a tough few months, and its going... to be a long road back. As restrictions start to ease, our tourism industry can now start charting their way forward and get back to business. Today, weve announced a new grants package to help them on this journey with two new funding programs. This new funding package will help small tourism operators adjust and adapt their businesses away from targeting the international and interstate market and towards Western Australians. Firstly, well be providing $10.4 million in one-off cash grants for up to 1,600 individual small businesses around the State. The $6,500 grants will provide immediate support to eligible tourism operators with annual taxable wages of less than $1 million, including accommodation, attraction, tour and transport businesses. This will include micro-tourism businesses, such as sole traders and businesses with four or less employees. The second, $4 million Tourism Business Survival Grants package will be available for tourism operators dealing with exceptionally difficult circumstances - with grants of $25,000-$100,000 available. The Survival Grants will target businesses located in parts of the State with more restrictive travel bans in place, or whose circumstances otherwise mean they will face a more difficult road to recovery. Businesses which deliver iconic experiences are also eligible to apply. These grants are in addition to other State Government assistance packages which have been announced in the last few weeks, including payroll tax waivers to eligible small-to-medium sized business, one-off electricity credit and waiver of business licenses fees. With the easing of regional travel restrictions it is anticipated thousands of Western Australians will be looking to travel around WA this year - and we want as many local businesses as possible benefiting from these opportunities. More information on the Tourism Recovery Fund and the online application form can be found on Tourism WAs corporate website at: http://www.tourism.wa.gov.au/WATourismRecoveryProgram More information on the Tourism Business Survival Grants package, including how businesses can apply, will be released shortly.
