The South Australian Government has introduced a COVID-19 Tourism and Hospitality Support Grant to support the tourism and hospitality sector in South Australia.
Businesses in eligible tourism and hospitality sectors that have already received the COVID-19 Additional Business Support Grant can receive a further payment of:
- $3,000 for employing businesses with turnover less than $2 million
- $10,000 for employing businesses with turnover of greater than $2 million
- $20,000 for employing businesses with turnover of greater than $5 million
- $1,000 for non-employing businesses
Businesses in eligible tourism and hospitality sectors that have already received the COVID-19 Additional Business Support Grant will be automatically paid top-up grants of $3,000 for employing businesses and $1,000 for non-employing businesses. No additional application is necessary.
Businesses in the tourism and hospitality sector with a turnover of greater than $2 million and $5 million will also be eligible for a further grant of $7,000 and $17,000 respectively (taking the total value to $10,000 and $20,000). These businesses will need to apply separately and provide the required supporting evidence to receive the additional $7,000 or $17,000 payment.
Applications for the larger (turnover based) COVID-19 Tourism and Hospitality Support Grant will be opening Friday 17 September 2021 through the Department of Treasury and Finance application portal.
To be eligible for the COVID-19 Tourism and Hospitality Support Grant, businesses must meet the following criteria:
- Have received a COVID-19 Additional Business Support Grant (see Eligibility Guidelines); and
- Have nominated as part of their COVID-19 Additional Business Support Grant application that they operate in an eligible industry sector as identified in the list of eligible ANZSIC classes.
