Travel vouchers gone

THE second round of travel vouchers from the state government have been quickly snapped up again.

Vouchers were on offer again on 20 January, but the allocation was quickly exhausted. 40,000 vouchers for $200 were taken up.

During the first round of offers, 70,000 vouchers were claimed. The state government says that the Mornington Peninsula was one of the most popular destinations for holiday makers who claimed vouchers.

Tourism minister Martin Pakula said “Victorians love exploring their own backyard and these vouchers make it easier for families to get out into our beautiful regions and enjoy a well-earned break.”

“More people travelling in regional Victoria means more money over the counter for businesses that are recovering after a very difficult 2020, and more jobs for local workers,” he said.

Regional development minister Mary-Anne Thomas said “these vouchers mean more Victorians have the chance to see more and do more in regional Victoria this summer – helping local businesses and the communities they support, hit hard by the challenges of 2020.”

Second round vouchers will be redeemable for travel between 27 January and 1 April. Successful applicants are able to redeem their voucher after they have travelled and spent their money so that cash flows immediately to the local businesses.

Another batch of 40,000 vouchers will be offered on 30 March for travel between 6 April and 31 May. For more information and to apply visit vic.gov.au/regional-travel-voucher-scheme
