We’ve never stopped dreaming, and neither have you. With travel restrictions easing and an insatiable desire to get out and explore, IHG is getting ready to welcome guests back with open (but socially distant) arms at hotels and resorts across Australia and New Zealand. Created under the ‘There’s More to See’ campaign, these experiences are designed to inspire travellers to rediscover the magic in Australia’s great backyard.
