Delivering $100 worth of digital vouchers to every adult NSW resident, the program will inject new energy into the economy, help businesses doing it tough and encourage employment.
The four $25 vouchers per person will be widely available in January 2021 and can be used at cafes, restaurants and on arts & tourism attractions across NSW.
Premier Gladys Berjikilian said NSW was in the “race against time” to support people who are – or soon will be – unemployed.
“This Budget has workers at its heart, with temporary, targeted stimulus to generate jobs and get businesses booming again,” she said.
Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said: “No industry has felt the economic impacts of COVID-19 more than the hospitality, arts and tourism industries. NSW acted swiftly to save lives and stop the spread of COVID-19 and we want to help businesses by encouraging spending within local communities, especially within the hospitality, arts and tourism sectors.”
The program has been welcomed by industry bodies including Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) Australia.
“The signature Out & About digital travel voucher program will be a $500 million lifeline for local cafes, restaurants and cultural attractions,” TTF CEO Margy Osmond said.
