About redeeming the subsidy

How can I redeem my Tourism for All 2024 subsidy? What if I don’t have a smartphone for contactless transactions?

A virtual Tourism for All 2024 Visa debit card is issued. The subsidy amount is credited in this card.

You can activate the virtual card using any smartphone.

To use the virtual debit card at a POS as soon as you activate it, you must:

  • Add it to the digital wallet you choose (Apple Pay, Google Pay).
  • Use it with a smartphone that supports NFC transactions. 

Otherwise, you can enter the card details (number, expiry date and CVV) on the website of the accommodation provider, as long as they offer an online payment option.

Until when can I redeem the amount in the Tourism for All 2024 card?

By 31.12.2024 at any hotel or other tourist accommodation across Greece.

Are there any restrictions for the Tourism for All 2024 programme?

  • Number of overnight stays.
  • Period you choose. 
  • Geographical area, as all the accommodation providers across Greece participate in the programme.

The only condition is that the total amount you pay must not exceed €200, €300 or €400, depending on the amount corresponding to each beneficiary.

Do I have to use the amount in the Tourism for All 2024 card in one go?

No. You can redeem the subsidy at hotels or other tourist accommodation in 2 ways:

  • In one go

No. The new Tourism for All 2024 programme works independently from any other previous programme. Therefore, the aid amount will be paid into a new card, which will be issued after you apply at vouchers.gov.gr.
