From 10am today, there are 40,000 vouchers up for grabs and they will be redeemable for travel between 27 January to 1 April. Successful applicants will be able to redeem their voucher after they have travelled and have spent the money.
A further round of 40,000 vouchers will become available on 30 March for travel between 6 April and 31 May.
The Regional Travel Voucher Scheme is part of the $465 million Victorian Tourism Recovery Package, which also provides almost $300 million to improve infrastructure in iconic locations including Gippsland, the Great Ocean Road, Wilsons Promontory and the Grampians and invest in new tourism projects.
“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,” says Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula.

- be a Victorian resident aged 18 or over
