Why taking a holiday is good for your superannuation and retirement
1 May 2025
What do one of Australia’s top tourism brands and a $300 billion super fund have in common? More than you might think!
We’re on location at Discovery Parks Byron Bay to explore a surprising way Aussies are growing their super – just by booking a holiday.
Host Anne Fuchs sits down with Grant Wilckens (G’Day Group CEO) and Michael Weaver (ART Head of Global Real Assets) to talk about:
- Owning a slice of Australia – G’Day Group Discovery Parks run more than 90 holiday parks in stunning spots like Byron Bay, Cradle Mountain, Rottnest Island and the Kimberley.
- The evolution of caravan parks – once just powered sites for motorhomes, holiday parks now offer everything from luxury lodges to glamping. The industry has grown into a billion-dollar business.
- Big investments, big growth – with more than $2 billion in assets, Discovery Parks is ART’s largest real estate investment. And it’s still growing. That’s good news for your super.
- Your super, your holidays – every stay helps ART members grow their retirement savings.
Super isn’t just about the future; it’s working for you right now. Tune in for more insights.
