The State Government announced that from Monday June 7, Queenslanders will have 72 hours to enter the draw to win one of the 30,000 travel vouchers worth $100 each.

The vouchers can exclusively be used on select accommodation and tourism experiences in partnership with Destination Gold Coast.

The State Government has announced $3 million in $100 holiday vouchers to be used on the Gold Coast.

The campaign is aimed at boosting local tourism by encouraging Queenslanders to explore their own backyard.

“Supporting our critical tourism industry is a key part of Queensland’s COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan,” Ms Palaszczuk’s statement read.

Brisbane recently received its $3 million share of the Holiday Dollars with the program running from June 4 to August 15.

The holiday vouchers are aimed at helping the Gold Coast’s struggling tourism industry.

More than 102,000 people entered the competition to win one of the 30,000 vouchers up for grabs.

The Whitsundays also received a smaller cut of the scheme with 6,000 x $200 vouchers up for offer to encourage people up north.
