Queensland to hand out 15,000 travel vouchers to help rescue far north's Covid-hit tourism industry

The vouchers, worth $200 each, will be available to Queensland residents and allocated by ballot

The Queensland government will hand out 15,000 travel vouchers worth up to $200 each in an attempt to stimulate domestic tourism and drive the state's Covid-19 recovery.

Queensland's premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, announced the voucher scheme on Sunday, as the state again recorded no new locally acquired Covid-19 cases.
