The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): The Minister for Tourism has advised:

1. The budget for the three rounds of the River Revival Voucher Program was $3 million—this was fully exhausted through the program.

3. There were 233 vouchers redeemed for the houseboat/guided tour category and 378 vouchers redeemed in the experiences and tours category.

4. An average return on investment for round 3 of the River Revival Voucher program was 4.8:1, meaning for every dollar invested by the state government, almost an additional $5 was returned to the regions.
