Residents looking to splurge on a holiday in Victoria should set their clocks ready for the release of the Victorian Travel Voucher Scheme opening today at 2pm.
Some 140,000 vouchers will be up for grabs on a first-come-first-served basis which can be used across entertainment, hospitality and accommodation, claiming expenses during the program travel period of 8 April and 27 May 2022.
Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula said Victorians have embraced the travel vouchers previously, and this fourth round will be no different.
“Our state has some of the best destinations and attractions in the world and we’re encouraging Victorians to discover something new and also support local businesses and jobs,” he said.
The vouchers are a $200 reimbursement for successful applicants when expenses of more than $400 are incurred across accommodation, attraction and experiences.
Vouchers are limited to one per household and a minimum of two consecutive nights must be spent at paid accommodation including hotels, motels, serviced apartments, caravan parks, and campsites to be eligible.
The 140,000 vouchers to be released are in addition to the 10,000 travel vouchers made available exclusively to eligible seniors via a ballot last week, with 34,047 eligible applications made.
