Early results from the government’s “Eat, Shop, Spend” scheme to encourage tourists to support local businesses by rewarding them with vouchers indicate that most registering travellers are of working age.

Ministry spokesman Lavaron Sangsnit reported the statistics gleaned from the registration website in its first four days ending Thursday (September 26).

The registrants’ eligibility to participate in the scheme was checked against an Interior Ministry database to ensure their intended destinations varied from their hometowns based on household registration.

In all, 807,321 registrants qualified and were to be informed by Thursday via SMS.

Working age (31-60) – 54%

Recent graduates (22-30) – 32%

College students (18-21) – 8%

Seniors (60+) – 6%

Most popular destination regions as chosen by registrants

Central – 43%

Northeast – 16%
