Explore Your State: IHG Launches New Campaigns Across Australia and New Zealand to Ignite Staycation Adventures

Whether it's a day trip, beach trip or even a work trip, Aussies and Kiwis are perfecting the art of the Staycation. With some of IHG's most iconic hotels and resorts now reopened – including InterContinental Hayman Island Resort (1 Sept) and the opening of new hotels including Crowne Plaza Hobart (1 July) and Holiday Inn Express & Suites Queenstown (10 July) – IHG has launched its newest campaign to support domestic recovery and encourage staycation and self-drive experiences across Australia and New Zealand.
Australia
'There's More for You' follows the success of 'There's More to See' – shifting gears to encourage travellers to take the slow road with stay & save offers. With up to 35% off, the slow road is an affordable one to explore the coastal walks of Coogee, the wineries of the Hunter, or sand flat tours on Hayman Island. These offers include:
  • Stay Longer and Save: guests receive up to 35% off when they book three nights or more, including complimentary breakfast daily and 20% of the hotel's restaurant and bars
  • Breakfast & Parking on Us: ideal for self-drive travels, guests will receive complimentary daily parking and daily breakfast for two with their stay
New Zealand
'Uncover New Zealand' is designed to offer Kiwis maximum freedom and value to choose their own adventure – whether it's the ski slopes of Queenstown, geothermal baths of Rotorua, Otago's world-class wineries or the historical streets of Christchurch. These offers include:
  • Mid-Week Done Right: savvy travellers will be rewarded mid-week with up to 20% off Monday to Thursdays with no deposit required and cancellation until 6:00pm the day prior to arrival
  • Stay Longer and Save: guests receive up to 35% off when they book three nights or more, including complimentary breakfast daily and 20% of the hotel's restaurant and bars
  • Breakfast & Parking on Us: ideal for self-drive travels, guests will receive complimentary daily parking and daily breakfast for two with their stay
The campaign is now live and valid for bookings made until 31 October 2020, with stay dates 3 September to 31 March 2021. All offers are available for bookings made direct and via OTAs.
