25.01.2022 For more information about South Australia's #CircuitBreaker restrictions and how they impact tourism operators, those working in hospitality and accommodation, and how an Essential Worker can identify themselves, see our latest Industry Update. There, you'll find links to useful resources and advice, including how you can service guests that are spending the six-day lockdown in accommodation across our state.

16.01.2022 Just one month today until Christmas - lucky it wasn't too long ago when Father Christmas landed in Adelaide! For many South Australians, the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant kicks off the start of the festive season and while this year's been a little different, we hope that stayed true. The 2020 Pageant was an event spectacular, delighting those lucky enough to attend at Adelaide Oval and those who tuned in from home. Check out some of the highlights of when Father Christmas came to town.

16.01.2022 While international borders are closed, Australian states and territories are jockeying for position to make the most of the domestic market and grab some of the $65 billion Aussies usually spend on overseas holidays. One of many of our marketing campaigns working to do just that, tapped into those eager for international travel through promoting a #EuroSAmmer right here, in SA. Operators and locations featured included European-esque venues such as Golding Wines in the Adelaide Hills and Hey Jupiter in the CBD. Check out the photos from the European holiday recreated in our #GreatState by Pia Muehlenbeck and Kane Vato Muehlenbeck which led their millions of followers to believe they were having a picnic in southern France and soaking up the sun on a sandy beach in Capri.
