Victoria’s latest round of $200 travel vouchers was snapped up in three minutes.
The 50,000 vouchers for travel in regional Victoria were released on Tuesday morning.
It is the largest release of the vouchers, with 200,000 now taken up by Victorians.
The website crashed when the first batch was released last December.
“It’s quite it’s quite extraordinary how quick, whether it’s the 40,000 we had allocated for greater Melbourne, or all the rounds of vouchers for regional Victoria – they just go like ‘that’,” said Acting Premier James Merlino.
The scheme was launched to boost the local tourism sector, which was ravaged by the state’s COVID-19 lockdowns.
Each of the latest vouchers involves $400 being spent on accommodation, tours or attractions in Victoria between May 6-31.
