Planning to Visit La Palma? The Island is Raffle-ing €250 Vouchers for a Grand Experience
If visiting the island of La Palma has been on your wishlist for some time, this is the push you needed to travel there and enjoy all its charms. The Canary Islands Tourism Board has launched a campaign through which tourists can receive a voucher to spend on accommodations, dining, and tourist activities in La Palma. Between March and September, seven notarized raffles will be held for Spanish residents over 18 years old to win 20,000 vouchers worth €250 each.
Specifically, it's a prepaid Visa card loaded with €250, and to get one, all you need to do is register on the program's website to enter the raffle. Just remember, you must be of legal age and a resident of Spain.
You can register for the promotion until September 1st, and the first Wednesday of each month (starting in March) will have a raffle with all participants who registered by that date and have not won.
Therefore, once you have registered, you can check the status of your participation at this other link, and starting from the first business Thursday of the following month, you will know if you have had the luck of winning one of the vouchers.
Keep in mind that your participation will be active until the promotion ends, so you will need to check each month if you manage to benefit from one of the Visa cards. Additionally, if you are one of the winners, remember that you have only four months to enjoy the prize from the moment you are notified.
If you have already won a voucher, you will not be able to participate further in the contest, but if a family member or friend has also managed to win one, they can be used together to pay for the same reservation or purchase.
In total, there are 20,000 cards available to use in the services included in the program, which include hotels, apartments, rural houses, restaurants, cafes, or even activities such as whale watching, diving, astrotourism, or bike or quad tours.
The aim of the program is to 'boost and promote tourism in La Palma.' The economic activity on the island has been harmed by the effects of the Cumbre Vieja volcano, so this promotion seeks to 'generate activity and improve employment.'
