Registrations for Tasmania’s Tourism voucher scheme opens

Registrations for Tasmania’s new $7.5 million tourism voucher scheme opens today, aiming to entice Tasmanians to holiday at home, book into local accommodation, and take part in local experiences across the state.

The vouchers are able to be used seven days a week and can be used on multiple occasions until 24th September, and are worth $300 each, with the initiative offering up to $200 for accommodation and $100 for tourism experiences.

Experiences could include packaged food and wine tours at producers’ venues, coach and small group day tours or even rental car hire.

The last round of vouchers generated an estimated $27.5 million in additional spending in the State, supporting countless businesses and providing significant flow on benefit to hospitality businesses and regional economies.

Tasmanian Premier, Peter Gutwein notes I’m urging all Tasmanians to take part in this exciting opportunity by registering their interest in a voucher, and if successful, getting out and about and experiencing all our beautiful State has to offer while supporting Tassie businesses.”

Tasmanians will be able to register their interest for a voucher from today via www.travelvoucherstasmania.com.au, or for those that have limited access to the internet via phone on 1800 344 077. 

Tasmanians have five days to register, with registrations closing 9th August.

Following the closing of registrations, the vouchers will be allocated via a ballot system to ensure they are fairly allocated to as many Tasmanians as possible, with successful recipients being notified on 11th August.
