Pensioners will be given 30.000 tourist vouchers, each worth 10.000 dinars. But not all pensioners can get them. Who, where, when and how can apply for vouchers
The Government of Serbia adopted a regulation related to free vouchers for vacations in Serbia, which defines the manner in which they are awarded and used. This measure should encourage and improve domestic tourism, Minister of Finance Sinisa Mali announced on his Instagram profile.
And he added that it was just part of it. of the package of aid measures that the Government of Serbia intended for citizens (that is, voters), that his the total value is 600 million euros.
Vouchers are intended for pensioners whose pension does not exceed RSD 80.000.
Registration will be done at the counters of the Post of Serbia from Monday, August 3.
Before applying, it is necessary to reserve accommodation for a stay of at least five nights, which must be on the official list of catering establishments of the Ministry of Tourism and Youth.
It is necessary to attach an identity document and proof of pensioner status (for example, a pension check). The deadline for submitting a request is 30 days before the planned trip.
If all conditions are met and the application is processed before the distribution is completed, the voucher is delivered by registered mail directly to the home address.
It is planned to distribute 30.000 vouchers worth RSD 10.000.
There are over 1.6 million pensioners in Serbia, and the average pension amounts to 56.846 dinars, according to the data of the Republic Fund for Pension and Disability Insurance. This means that only every 55th pensioner will be able to receive a voucher.
In previous years, when 30.000 tourist vouchers were distributed, they burned up within a few hours.
It is still not clear where all the vouchers will be used, because restaurateurs have five days to apply, said Minister of Tourism and Youth Husein Memic.
In terms of visits via vouchers, spas dominate.
Most of the vouchers were previously used for Sokobanja. Besides it, the Vrnjačka spa is also popular among pensioners. The mountain centers of Zlatibor, Kopaonik and Tara, as well as Srebrno and Palićko jezero, are also in demand.
Tourist vouchers for holidays in Serbia have existed since 2015. So far, more than two million vouchers have been distributed, for which more than 13 billion dinars were spent.
