Coast is Calling Vouchers | Holiday on the Coast in SA

ROUND 2 COMING SOON.  The Coast is Calling travel voucher program – win free travel and accomodation vouchers.

Coastal tourism regions impacted by the algal bloom will benefit from another round of the travel voucher program, calling on South Australians to travel and support our coastal towns and communities.

The ‘Coast is Calling’ travel voucher program saw 20,000 vouchers for accommodation and experiences valued up to $500 released, with the first ballot opening ahead of the Spring 2025 school holidays.

Eligible tourism businesses across South Australia’s coastal regions impacted by the algal bloom were invited to participate through an Expressions of Interest.  The naturally occurring algal bloom is affecting many coastal areas in South Australia, which has had a serious impact on marine life and the industries that rely on it — especially fishing, aquaculture and tourism.

South Australians aged 18 and over can enter the ballot for vouchers to the value of $100, $200, and $500, generating bookings for algal bloom impacted experience and accommodation operators.

Vouchers Available:

• $100 experience vouchers (no dining)
• $100 accommodation vouchers (1-night minimum stay)
• $200 accommodation vouchers (2-night minimum stay)
• $500 accommodation vouchers (5-night minimum stay)
