The fuel voucher scheme for French visitors in Pas de la Casa will launch this weekend, offering tourists from the Occitania region a €30 cheque redeemable at any petrol station in Andorra.
Visitors can collect the voucher from the Pas de la Casa tourist office. The initiative aims to support the local economy amid challenges faced by businesses, particularly petrol stations, which have reported substantial revenue losses. Station owners told RTVA that while the measure provides some assistance, it will not offset their financial shortfalls.
Local retailers have seized on the idea, urging authorities to extend the €30 voucher to all shops in the Encamp parish town. They have formally requested this expansion from the Consell Econòmic i Social, but have yet to receive a response.
