NPSP supports The Parade’s economy with unique competition for holidaymakers

The competition was created to help boost the struggling travel sector, which has been significantly impacted as a result of the covid pandemic.

Mayor Robert Bria, who is also the Presiding Member of the Norwood Precinct Committee, said Book a Holiday – Win a Holiday will provide direct support and stimulation to the following travel agencies:

• Helloworld
• Phil Hoffmann Travel
• Top Deck Travel
• Travel Associates

From today, holidaymakers and sightseers who spend a minimum of $200 at any of the four agencies will have the chance to win a $1,000 voucher, with the travel agency they booked their trip with.

This will directly inject $4,000 into each of the four travel agencies and will result in a total of sixteen $1,000 voucher winners, four a week for four weeks.

“While many other businesses along The Parade have rebounded quite well - travel agencies are still feeling the impacts of the pandemic,” Mayor Bria said.

“It may be a long time before frequent international travel returns and, in the meantime, the Council wants to do whatever it can to help the local economy.

“Another additional benefit is that by booking through a local travel agency, the stress of any arising covid restrictions is also reduced, because the staff can handle any changes to flights or accommodation.

“The premise behind the competition is simple: when you book with your local, trusted, travel agent you will be supporting local jobs.

“I wish the very best of luck to the four weekly winners who will receive $1000 – with a total of $16,000 given away over the entirety of the competition.”

The competition is delivered through the funds collected from The Parade Separate Rate and is outlined in The Parade Precinct’s Annual Business Plan. For more information visit: www.theparadenorwood.com
