As part of the recovery plan, Knokke-Heist launched a voucher campaign in which residents and second-home owners were rewarded with a shopping credit of 150 and 200 euros to be used in local businesses. Although the campaign proved successful, many traders were unable to benefit from the voucher as a result of the stricter coronavirus measures. The campaign was therefore put on hold for several months. Now that further relaxations of the measures are in sight, the Knokke-Heist vouchers will be relaunched.
On 9 June, the hospitality industry will be able to reopen fully. In order not to relaunch the vouchers during the initial busy period, a decision was made to reinstate the validity of the KH vouchers from Monday 14 June 2021. From then on, the KH vouchers will be valid for a period of two months, up to and including Sunday 15 August 2021. This will give traders sufficient time to prepare optimally and ensure that everything runs smoothly.
HOW TO USE THE VOUCHER
Do you still have balance available on your KH Voucher? If so, you can enjoy a delicious meal or leisurely shopping session in Knokke-Heist. You can use the voucher with over 500 participating merchants. Most of the participating catering establishments and local retailers have a visible window sticker. Many businesses are also offering a fun little extra to tempt you to spend the voucher with them. An overview of these appealing offers can be found here. It is important for everyone to keep hold of their voucher. Be careful not to throw it away, as you will still need to use the original voucher.
You can redeem your voucher all at once or in several goes. You will need to state in advance which amount you wish to pay with your voucher. If the items you are purchasing cost more than the balance on your voucher, you can simply pay the remaining amount using a different means of payment. If the items you are purchasing cost less, the amount spent will be deducted from the voucher.

Since then, the municipality has also communicated extensively about the card to ensure that everyone who had not yet received a card was given time to request one. You could still register and save points even without a physical card. If you did not receive it, have thrown it away or did not register the card and did not save points, you will no longer be able to use the voucher.
