The Coast is Calling tourism voucher ballot opens tomorrow, with 20,000 vouchers available for accommodation and experiences in South Australia's coastal destinations.
230 coastal tourism businesses impacted by the algal bloom will benefit from the new travel voucher program calling on South Australians to travel this Spring - with over 500 experience and accommodation options on offer.
From 9am (ACST) on Friday 19 September until 10pm (ACST) on Monday 22 September, South Australian residents aged 18 and over can enter the ballot for a chance to win vouchers to the value of $100, $200, and $500.
The ballot will be drawn on Tuesday 23 September, with lucky voucher winners able to book immediately upon receiving their voucher code to travel from Wednesday 24 September until 30 November 2025.
The voucher travel period begins from 24 September to allow families to take advantage of the incentive over the spring school holidays and travel to South Australia's coastal towns.
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).
Those who win $100 experience vouchers will be able to book experiences, such as fishing charter tours, surfing lessons, food and beverage tastings, kayaking, and unique wildlife experiences.
A range of accommodation offerings are bookable with vouchers up to the value of $500, including off-grid getaways, holiday and caravan parks, glamping, hotels, and more.
The travel period spans more than two months including the school holidays and the October long weekend, supporting flexibility for successful voucher recipients.
Delivered by the South Australian Tourism Commission, the voucher program will work in tandem with marketing activity driving visitation to the State's coastal regions and marine based tourism businesses and promoting marine recreation activities including recreational fishing.
The 'Coast is Calling' travel voucher program is part of the $28 million algal bloom support package funded by the South Australian and Commonwealth governments going towards research, clean-up efforts, community support, industry help, and public information.
