Tassie extension

THE Tasmanian Government has extended the time for travellers to redeem vouchers issued under its $7.5 million tourism scheme.

The 25,000 state residents who received a voucher now have until 31 Oct to use vouchers designed to support the local tourism economy during the period of border closures.

“The previous round of vouchers generated an estimated $27.5 million in additional tourism spending,” Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein said.
