Caravan Park incentive to help drive winter tourism

Published on 20 June 2023

Holidaymakers visiting Moyne Shire’s caravan parks this Winter can stay three nights, and only pay for two – helping to drive winter tourism.

The Stay for 3, only Pay for 2 special deal allows visitors to take advantage of the Winter off-peak rates and stay an extra couple of nights.

Mayor Cr Karen Foster said the program helped drive off-peak tourism.

‘We know for every extra night stayed, more money is spent in local businesses. This is a way Council is helping attract people to the region over the quieter season and supporting our local businesses,” Cr Foster said.

She said winter is a great time to explore the region and the deal encouraged people to stay longer.

“Reduced crowds allow visitors to take their time and discover the whole region; there is so much to see and do in Moyne Shire,” she said.

“Natural wonders, lively events, vibrant communities and great food and drinks are all on offer. From June to September whale-watchers can see Southern Right, Humpback and Blue whales, and even the occasional Orca.”

The offer applies at each of council’s six caravan parks for bookings through to October 31, and excludes public holidays and school holidays.
