Italy Offers €200 Spa Vouchers to Every Adult

As part of a government Covid scheme, Italy is offering a spa bonus to every adult of €200. The new government plan aims to use vouchers to help the leisure sector recover from Covid.

Application for the vouchers can be done on the PA Digitale platform. Italy's government have pledged €53million in spa vouchers for adults across the country as part of an initiative to help the leisure sector recover from the pandemic. Once the fund - over €43million of which has already been spent - is empty Italians will have to pay for their beauty treatments. 

When the website launched initially on the 8th of November, it crashed due to a surge in demand. It was relaunched on Tuesday at noon.

The website host has now clarified that Italian adults should book treatments directly with an accredited spa, which will then apply for the discount on their behalf, rather than try to claim their voucher on the Invitalia page. 

The government said it would cover spa services including wellness and beauty treatments.

'The bonus will consist of a 100 per cent discount on the purchase price of the selected spa services, up to a maximum amount of 200 euros,' the Ministry for Economic Development said, announcing the scheme.
