Why leave town? Shopping locally can help Australian communities prosper

Updated: Aug 17, 2022

The next time you’re thinking about leaving town, take a step back and think of all the great things that you can do right here at home. Opting for regional travel instead of traveling internationally, won’t only save you money, but will also allow you to support Australian communities and businesses.

This simple concept led to the creation of Why Leave Town (WLT) cards - a unique gift card program - that is an EFTPOS based system aimed at keeping money within communities by encouraging people to shop locally. WLT cards are also perfect as travel money cards for promoting regional travel in Australia, which is easier than you may think as most regions are pretty accessible from the main cities.


Why Leave Town cards are a great option if you’re looking for a simple or last-minute gift idea. But, let’s face it, the majority of gift cards that we receive support large corporations instead of promoting local shopping. WLT cards are the perfect solution because all the money stays local! Gift cards can only be used at participating locations within the community in which it was purchased. Plus, Why Leave Town cards are a no-hassle payment method as they can be used just like a normal credit or debit card.


Why Leave Town cards make great gifts or charitable donations. The cards can be purchased online or at participating locations.
