The Coast is Calling Travel Voucher program has already injected $6.4 million into our State’s coastal destinations impacted by the algal bloom – and its impact is set to grow as the ballot for Round 2 opens today.  South Australian residents over the age of 18 can enter via the public ballot from now until 4pm ACDT on Wednesday 3 December for a chance to win vouchers valued at $100 for experiences and $100, $200, or $500 for accommodation. With 30,000 vouchers to be released this Thursday, 4 December, lucky voucher winners will be able to book immediately for travel until the end of the Easter school holidays in 2026. Voucher recipients need to book by 19 January, and any unclaimed vouchers will go into a redraw on 22 January to help further drive redemption. The Coast is Calling Travel Voucher is part of the State and Federal Government’s Algal Bloom Summer Plan, aiming to boost visitation and economic activity along the State’s coast.
