South Australia is issuing up to 20,000 travel vouchers worth as much as $500 to stimulate coastal regions affected by algal bloom impacts. The aim is to push immediate visitation in shoulder season and support small operators.
Targeted stimulus like this can plug short‑term gaps in cashflow for accommodation, tour and hospitality businesses. Expect strong competition for limited allocations.
