Tourism Minister Martin Pakula confirmed to the Herald Sun that the fourth round of the hugely popular scheme will go live at 2pm on Wednesday March 23.The vouchers, which have sold out in minutes during previous rounds, will be issued on a first come first served basis.The scheme provides successful applicants with a $200 reimbursement on travel plans when expenses of more than $400 are incurred across accommodation, attraction and experiences.To be eligible for the rebate, travellers must stay in paid accommodation including hotels, motels, serviced apartments, caravan parks and campsites for a minimum of two consecutive nights.The vouchers, which are limited to one per household, must be used for travel between April 8 and May 27 this year.The 140,000 vouchers follow an exclusive ballot launch to eligible seniors last week.More than 52,000 vouchers were redeemed in the first round of travel in December and January, with visitors to regional Victoria spending an estimated $85m.Mr Pakula said Victorians have embraced travel vouchers.“This fourth round of the program gives them another chance to experience the best our state has to offer,” he said.“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.”To apply: vic.gov.au/business-stimulus-package
