LORNE businesses have come together through the Lorne Business and Tourism Association (LBTA) to help the township\u2019s tourism sector recover from the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

The revitalisation of the Love Lorne initiative has been a major part of their efforts to make Lorne the preferred location for people to enjoy their newfound freedoms.<\/p>\n

LBTA treasurer and Live Wire Park director Luke Nesbitt describes Love Lorne as \u201cthe face of Lorne\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr Nesbitt said Love Lorne had been doing a lot since lockdown restrictions eased to attract visitors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working in conjunction with the Lorne Business and Tourism Association along with the Committee for Lorne to basically come up with a COVID-19 economic recovery campaign, which is basically aimed at pushing Lorne as being front of mind for people when people can travel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working closely with all the businesses and traders in Lorne to set up like a membership-based platform, create a website, do a marketing campaign over the radio and do all sorts of social media posts as well. So far we\u2019ve had a really good response to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Love Lorne\u2019s radio campaign with KIIS has seen 60 “Great Escapes Packages” to Lorne given away to listeners. The packages include a two-night stay at either Cumberland Lorne Resort or Lorne Hotel, dinner for two at Movida Lorne and two vouchers for Live Wire Park\u2019s Super Circuit.<\/p>\n

The Love Lorne website is also presently holding a \u201cSpin to Win\u201d campaign where people receive vouchers and giveaways for various Lorne businesses, giving further incentive for people to visit the town.<\/p>\n

LBTA vice president and Lorne Hotel owner Paul Upham said the success of these campaigns emphasised the importance of local businesses working with each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt definitely benefits the town. I\u2019ve always had the view that together we all win – whether it\u2019s service offerings, or how we work together with customers that are in town and making sure that everything works together.\u201d<\/p>\n
