Eligible accommodation providers across the State can now register to take part in two of the NSW Government\u2019s new voucher programs \u2013 Parents NSW and Stay NSW.
\nBoth programs will be implemented using the existing Dine & Discover NSW infrastructure.
\nPremier Dominic Perrottet said families will be able to access the Parents NSW vouchers and Stay NSW vouchers from February.
\n\u201cThis stimulus is just what families and businesses need with school holidays concluding. Parents across all communities have made huge sacrifices during the pandemic and we want to say thank you to all of them,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\n\u201cEligible customers will soon be able to redeem their $250 worth of Parents NSW vouchers and $50 Stay NSW voucher with registered Stay NSW businesses, which is a huge win for the accommodation and tourism sectors which have been especially hard hit by the pandemic.
\n“The voucher programs will have a multiplier effect on the economy \u2013 and this will encourage families to spend a night or a weekend exploring Sydney or a regional town, while also spending on sightseeing and other activities.\u201d
\nTreasurer Matt Kean said the vouchers form part of the NSW Government\u2019s $2.8 billion COVID-19 Economic Recovery Strategy announced in October and come on the back of the more the $1billion COVID business support package announced this week.
\n\u201cThese vouchers are a win-win for industry and families and encourage more families to explore our incredible State and bolster local economies,\u201d Mr Kean said.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve stood shoulder to shoulder with industry throughout the pandemic and this is another program that will help keep businesses open and keep workers in jobs.\u201d
\nMinister for Customer Service and Digital Government Victor Dominello said with millions of vouchers to be issued to NSW residents soon, businesses should get ready to boost their income by registering for both programs.
\n\u201cTo take part in the two programs, businesses only have to register once through Service NSW. Once approved, all accommodation providers need to do is simply download the Service NSW for Business app and start scanning vouchers,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
\n\u201cWhether you\u2019re a hotel in Sydney, motel in rural NSW or a holiday park on a coastal town, we want you to take advantage of this stimulus and see more customers come through your doors.\u201d
\nBusinesses will be paid within ten days after redeeming a voucher.
\nCustomers can pool multiple Stay NSW vouchers with friends or family for the same booking at registered accommodation providers, big or small. Parents NSW vouchers can be combined and used to redeem $250 off your accommodation account.
\nBookings made through third party providers such as online booking platforms and travel agents are not included in the program.
\nParticipating businesses will be able to redeem vouchers seven days a week, including public holidays. Customers will be able to search for participating accommodation providers on the easy-to-use hotel finder.
\nDiscover NSW registered businesses do not have to re-register to accept Parents NSW vouchers, but can still register if they have yet to do so.
