The NSW government will give away $100 hotel vouchers in an much-needed effort to boost the tourism industry post pandemic.
Up to 200,000 $100 vouchers will be on offer. NSW residents can use them to book hotels in the Sydney CBD.
But they must be used on weekdays.
“This package is about boosting confidence by supercharging the Sydney economy,” Tourism Minister Stuart Ayres said on Thursday.
“We’ve rolled back restrictions further, people can get out and about across our wonderful city, and our businesses particularly here in Sydney need your support.”
The $100 hotel vouchers will be an extension of the Dine and Discover scheme, which offered four $25 vouchers — two for restaurants, cafes and clubs and two for entertainment venues.
Up to $24 million will also be provided to live music venues to encourage a return to normal business in 2021.
The government will also subsidise business events of more than 150 people, dollar-for-dollar, with grants of up to $30,000.
Events of fewer than 150 people would be eligible for grants of $15,000.
