Tasmanian Government initiative delivers $10 million of tourism vouchers

A new Tasmanian Government initiative aimed at stimulating the visitor economy through the winter period will see Tasmanians share in $10 million of vouchers to help cover the cost of holiday, dining or experiences.

100,000 vouchers valued at $100 each would be available to be redeemed on eligible accommodation, hospitality and visitor experiences.

Tasmanian Premier and Minister for Tourism, Jeremy Rockliff noted “we are stimulating our visitor economy in the traditionally quieter months while also making life more affordable for Tasmanians, helping people get out for a nice meal or away for a short break.

“Registrations for Eat Local, Stay Local will open for two weeks from Monday, 2nd June, so Tasmanians have plenty of time to express their interest.

“Recipients will be randomly allocated through a ballot process at the end of June and will have until the end of October to use their voucher.

“We are taking strong action to back in tourism and hospitality sector through our $27.8 million support package, which is boosting visitation and supporting Tasmanian businesses.”
