With the travel sector decimated by coronavirus and prior to that, the bushfires, the much-loved Click Frenzy Travel is taking on a new identity, with the aim of boosting support for travel businesses in need.

“It would be ludicrous to proceed with Click Frenzy Travel as though it is business as usual,” says Grant Arnott, Managing Director of Click Frenzy. “Commercially, we should cancel altogether, but out of the carnage we see an opportunity for us to do something good for the many businesses in dire straits. We’re ditching our traditional format and we’re aiming to give those struggling businesses a boost via Click Frenzy Places in Need.”

Places in Need will shine a spotlight on Australia’s little-known secrets and stunning treasures to help boost local travel. Secondly, it will provide deals for destinations that shoppers can redeem once it’s been deemed safe to travel.

Places in Need – Australia allows shoppers to find offers from affected providers. Qualifying small businesses receive complimentary promotion and advertising, utilising Click Frenzy’s broad reach with travellers to give providers a much-needed lift in their region. There are currently 100+ businesses registered and Click Frenzy is inviting more. The Places in Need event will extend for longer than normal to maximise the number of businesses that can get on board and benefit.

Mr Arnott says, “Let’s regrow. No-one needs to travel tomorrow, but this is an opportunity for Australians to look at the many amazing destinations available, with some incredible offers for forward bookings. We are working closely with our partners to ensure deals offer flexible dates and cancellation terms, to ensure that consumers feel comfortable. We truly hope that Australians get behind this initiative and boost businesses in need.”

Keen travellers can still expect huge savings from Click Frenzy, with 500+ deals on offer during Places in Need, they can anticipate sales on all key travel categories including flights, accommodation, packages, experiences, tours, car hire, transfers & parking, insurance, travel essentials and more.

An amazing assortment of local and international brands are on board this year, including Virgin Australia, Adrenaline/Red Balloon, Minor Hotel Group, Holiday Inn, Travel Online, Flight Centre, Klook, Hamilton Island, and more.
