Issuers of meal vouchers expand into electronic tourism vouchers

Companies issuing electronic meal voucher cards plan to expand into electronic tourism vouchers. Parliament has recently passed legislation obliging firms with over 50 workers to provide €500 tourism vouchers (of which companies must reimburse €275). The voucher firms are now contacting hotels and offering them cooperation in return for a 8-12% fee. If hotels pay the fee, the voucher firms will send the employees of their corporate clients their way.
