Regions and cities around New Zealand looking to boost
their local economies can look to South Australia for
inspiration with the state’s hugely successful first round
of vouchers injecting more than AUD$10 million into the
tourism and hospitality industry.
According to Tourism
Industry Aotearoa, hotel income in NZ was down 40% in 2020,
a shortfall that is likely to continue without government
support and the return of international visitors.
In
South Australia the state government invested AUD$2 million
in a voucher scheme offering travel vouchers up to the value
of AUD$100 for locals to use at accommodation providers
