Auckland Council is releasing more free vouchers for a raft of different experiences in an effort to get people out and about during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The voucher programme is part of the Government's Reactivating Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland package, first announced at the start of December.
Auckland Unlimited, a council agency overseeing the programmes, says so far more than 81,000 vouchers have been used at more than 100 businesses.
The bonus draw will take place on March 22 giving Aucklanders who have registered but missed out a chance to score a voucher.
"The bonus draw is a great opportunity to offer Aucklanders who have registered - but so far missed out - an opportunity to enjoy a voucher. It also means we can extend the programme's boost to local businesses which are benefitting from it,"Auckland Unlimited's director of investment and industry Pam Ford says.
Ford said the programme has been a huge success and has helped businesses and whānau.
"This voucher programme has achieved considerable impact to date, and we've had fantastic feedback from operators and Aucklanders".
She said Wednesday is the final day for people to book experiences with vouchers which were drawn on March 1.
"I urge people who haven't redeemed a voucher they won in the most recent draw to get busy and book an experience before midnight night – it would be a shame to miss out".
Participating businesses include major attractions such as the Sky Tower, Rainbow's End, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's, MOTAT, Snowplanet and Auckland Zoo, as well as ten pin bowling, escape rooms, mini putt, go-karting, ice skating, guided tours, sailing, equipment rental and ferry services such as Kawau Island Super Cruise.
Voucher recipients receive a $50 or $100 voucher that can be used towards booking an experience on the Explore Tāmaki Makaurau Bookme website.
