Vouchers from Beacon, Western Australia

I’ve spoken before about small towns coming up with all sorts of ideas to entice visitors to their towns. Having said that, some of the more popular towns are finding themselves overwhelmed with tourists and just wish they’d all go home! One small town that we enjoy visiting is Beacon. We stayed in the caravan park there for two nights recently. One of their ploys is to give $10 vouchers for each night you stay. We had two campsites so were entitled to four vouchers. The guy who gives out the vouchers is a typical Okker (Australian) and gave us an extra voucher each. As we weren’t there when he came around, he popped the vouchers under a stone on the step into our motor-home. There is a list of places where you can spend the vouchers on the back of the ticket. Unfortunately we found out that you can’t buy fuel with the vouchers so we haven’t used ours yet. However, they’re good for twelve months so I’m sure we’ll be back there soon.

It's a pity you're not able to use the vouchers.

@JudyEv Or discounted! It makes your $$ go a little farther, so that is good!

We were impressed. Isn't it funny? The amount isn't that much but it's always such a 'perk' to get something for nothing.

What a great idea! And so “old-fashioned,” not making you download the app to get it!

Yes, I guess so - old-fashioned that is.

Well, that was nice of him... It's too bad you can't get gas with the vouchers. That would have really been helpful.

We'll spend it in the store next time or at their country club if we're there on the right day.

@judyev My experience with vouchers is that they are rarely for anything you want!

We should have just spent it in their general store. You could also get meals and drinks in their 'country club' but being a small town, meals are available only a few nights a week.

Some of the places I have stayed at over the years have given me coupons. Some have been used and I appreciate saving money. A few have been new places and discovered a place that will visit in the future.
