More vouchers on offer for SA travellers

South Australians fourth round of travel vouchers, to help businesses hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, will come up for grabs later this week.

The ballot for 50,000 vouchers will open on Friday, providing $100 for accommodation in the Adelaide CBD and $50 for regional stays.

Special deals will also be offered for mid-week trips, from Sunday to Thursday.

Premier Steven Marshall said the scheme would be a much-needed shot-in-the-arm for CBD hotels, pubs, clubs and restaurants, while also helping to create and sustain jobs across the state.

"These vouchers stimulate travel, they get South Australians and interstate visitors booking overnight stays in our great state, and they sustain and create jobs in our visitor economy," he said.

"As we head into the winter months, this is even more important."

South Australian Tourism Commission chief executive Rodney Harrex said the feedback from industry about the value of targeted stimulus program "speaks for itself".

"The Great State Vouchers inject visitors and dollars directly into South Australian businesses," he said.

"They get people off the couch, booking an overnight stay or, as we've seen recently, a tour or experience.

"And they get people spending at cafes, restaurants, bars, wineries, and going to events."

The ballot will run from Friday until the following Tuesday afternoon with the vouchers valid from June 2 to August 31.
