Tourism NT’s new national ‘Best Kept Season‘ marketing campaign aims to promote the Territory as a year-round destination among Australians, highlighting the appeal of off-peak travel from September to April.

Developed in collaboration with Tourism Top End, Tourism Central Australia and NT Major Events Company, the 12-week campaign is designed to promote more consistent visitation across the year.

It highlights the secrets locals already know about off-peak travel in the NT – great value, nature at its best, exciting events and under-the-radar experiences – all with fewer crowds.

The omnichannel campaign will run across free-to-air TV, radio, BVOD and SVOD, OOH, print, online and social media, highlighting insider tips and sharing secret spots from tourism operators and locals.

Partnerships with Jetstar, Qantas, Tripadvisor, Luxury Escapes, Travel Auctions, Expedia, Helloworld and NT Now will convert and showcase deal messaging.

Visitors are encouraged to experience the Northern Territory during this amazing time, from flowing waterfalls and unique markets without the crowds to the best fishing in Australia and the spectacular Parrtjima – A Festival in Light.”
