Melbourne’s Travel Vouchers a Big Hit – A Vital Boost to Domestic Tourism

To encourage domestic tourism in Victoria, Australia, the state offered 40,000 vouchers for travellers worth $200 on the Service Victoria website as part of its Melbourne Travel Voucher Scheme; as reported on the Nine News website on 12th March 2021, all the vouchers were taken within just four minutes of them becoming available on the website. Travellers who successfully registered for the voucher were eligible to claim a $200 rebate after spending on tours, attractions or accommodation in metropolitan Melbourne.

Through such initiatives, domestic tourism and local businesses receive vital support as Victoria looks to bounce back following COVID-19 restrictions. Accommodation providers in the city are suitably prepared for the arrival of domestic travellers and hopefully soon, international tourists who visit Melbourne; hotel apartments including those at Oaks Melbourne on Lonsdale Suites offer safe stay options with strict health and hygiene guidelines in place.
