Is Vienna Following The PN? Austrian Capital To Give Every Family €50 To Spend At Restaurants And Cafes
Vienna is set to hand out €50 vouchers to families and €25 vouchers to single person households to spend in local restaurants and cafes which are set to reopen on Friday.
The scheme might ring a bell to readers in Malta as it was proposed by Nationalist Party MP Hermann Schiavone last month as a means of stimulating the gastronomy industry once it is allowed to reopen its doors to customers.

Now Vienna’s mayor Michael Ludwig has announced a similar scheme, worth around €40 million, to encourage people to eat out.
Malta is set to lay out its plan with regards restaurants, as well as hotels, public bays and international travel, by Monday.
Should Malta introduce a similar scheme when restaurants reopen?
