Decree on terms, manner of allocation and use of tourist vouchers adopted

Belgrade, 27 June 2022

The Serbian government adopted today the Decree on the terms and manner of allocation and use of funds to encourage the improvement of tourist traffic of domestic tourists on the territory of the Republic of Serbia for 2022, which approved additional tourist vouchers in the value of RSD 15,000 or RSD 10,000 for those who have already used vouchers in the value of RSD 5,000.

The vouchers, which must be used by 31 October this year, are intended for pensioners, the unemployed, beneficiaries of special benefits, of the right to assisted living, employed persons whose income does not exceed RSD 70,000, war invalids, holders of agricultural holding, and students.

The application of this decree is expected to significantly contribute to the intensification of the use of the existing tourist offer in the Republic of Serbia, reduction of foreign exchange outflow, but also reduction of harmful consequences caused by the COVID-19 epidemic.

During 2022, 100,000 vouchers worth RSD 5,000 have already been issued, and a significant part has been used, which stimulates the stay of domestic tourists in the country and affects the increase of the average number of overnight stays by domestic tourists.

Given that this regulation has been adopted since 2015, it can be said with confidence that it has given significant results so far in encouraging domestic tourism, and given that the tourism and hospitality sector is most affected by the crisis caused by the coronavirus epidemic, this type of stimulus gained additional importance as the large losses were somewhat mitigated by the tourist traffic of domestic tourists.
