More details

This has been an incredibly hard period for the nation. The Covid-19 virus has caused us to lose loved one's, have sleepless nights due to monetary stress and has had the nation abide by draconian measures for the greater good.

What better way to bring family, friends and the nation back together than a national celebration across a long weekend. Allowing families to travel away and kick start tourism, giving businesses the boost that they will truly need!
