Redlands Coast residents are encouraged to share local experiences as Christmas gifts this year.
Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said buying local would provide a much-needed boost for businesses and tourism operators who had experienced a challenging year due to COVID-19.
“This holiday season is the perfect opportunity to support our local tourism operators by gifting an experience which will showcase our naturally wonderful Redlands Coast,” she said.
“Our backyard encompasses bushland, rainforest, bay and islands and offers plenty of scope for a special gift which will create long-lasting memories.
“Such gifts will also help our local businesses to thrive and create a stronger and more prosperous community.”
