A tourism business which started in the Coromandel is to receive Government financial support for a new project to boost holidaymakers' experiences in the region.

Bachcare – which began in Hahei – is receiving $123,500 in Government funding to develop Bachcare Experiences, which will customise activities for holidaymakers.

Bachcare is receiving $123,500 Government funding to customise activities for holidaymakers.

Coromandel MP Scott Simpson says the funding is from the Tourism Growth Partnership.

'We're supporting innovative projects, such as Bachcare Experiences, which will create growth in the tourism industry.”

Scott says more and more tourists are choosing self-catering accommodation.

'As Bachcare manages and rents more than 300 holiday homes across our region, they're in a prime position to deliver uniquely Coromandel experiences to our visitors.

'This is great news for our guests and great news for our tourism operators.”

The Tourism Growth Partnership is investing $32 million during four years to support innovative projects.

It is a co-investment programme, meaning for each project approved for investment, the Government will provide up to 50 per cent of the required funding.

A second round of funding is now open for applications and closes at the end of June.
