Registrations for the vouchers only opened at midnight.
Many have had problems registering such as the demand on the Tourism NT online booking system.
All Territory Tourism Vouchers have now been allocated.
If you have registered for a voucher, it should be emailed to you within 24 hours of registration.
If you have contacted Tourism NT via the form on the https://territoryvoucher.nt.gov.au/ web page regarding issues with your registration, the team will be in contact with you within 24 hours.
Tourism NT will now monitor redemption and will be releasing more vouchers as soon as they're able.
You can fill in your details on https://territoryvoucher.nt.gov.au/ to be placed on the waitlist for possible further allocations.
People have been reporting problems accessing the system and using the drop down menus.
The vouchers are intended to support local tourism businesses until borders are re-opened to interstate visitors.
Once all vouchers have been claimed, people you can sign up to be added to a waiting list.
Additional vouchers may be released in future if there are unused funds available from the Territory Tourism Voucher incentive. These will be issued to those on the waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis.
More than 26,000 vouchers worth $200 are available for Territorians to put towards a tourism experience, tour, accommodation, hire car or recreational fishing charter, so long as they match the spend with their own money.
Adults can combine their vouchers to increase the overall value, they will need their own email addresses.
The $5.2 million voucher initiative is supported by a marketing campaign 'Never have I ever...' encouraging Territorians to book a local tourism experience they have never got around to enjoying for themselves.
Voucher holders will then be able to book their chosen tourism experience online, over the phone or in person through their local Visitor Information Centres in Katherine, Darwin, Tennant Creek and Alice Springs.
Katherine Visitor Information Centre's contact details are 1800 653 142 or 8972 2650. Email: visitor@ktc.nt.gov.au
The vouchers must be used on a "bookable product" available through these centres.
Hospitality venues will also be able to benefit from the vouchers by packaging their offerings with a tourism product such as a 'Stay and Meal' deal.
This will encourage hospitality businesses to create partnerships with tourism and accommodation operators, creating long-term benefits for both.
Vouchers are valid for 30 days, with bookings and travel to be completed by October 31, 2020.
