The Ordizia City Council is launching a campaign offering 3,000 vouchers starting November 16 to promote the municipality's commercial and service sector.

The Ordizia City Council has today presented a new voucher campaign aimed at promoting and strengthening the municipality's trade and service sector. This initiative seeks to encourage citizens to support Ordizia's businesses by highlighting local offerings and backing proximity commerce. A total of 3,000 purchase vouchers will be available. Each voucher will be worth 30 euros, with buyers paying only 20 euros. The remaining 10 euros will be contributed by the Ordizia City Council.
Deputy Mayor Maitane Alvarez emphasized, "The shops, bars, and services in our town keep our streets alive. They are not just businesses offering products or services; they create relationships, offer personal attention, and are part of Ordizia's identity and vitality. Therefore, supporting local trade and shopping in our establishments is also a way of keeping the town alive. With this voucher campaign, we want to make it easier for citizens to choose local establishments for their needs while supporting our businesses." Alvarez urged citizens to take advantage of the initiative and shop locally.
Zorion Intsausti, head of the Oreka herbalist shop and president of the Ordizian association, also expressed enthusiasm for the initiative: "We have a very varied and high-quality commercial, hospitality, and service offering. Shopping in town is a direct way to support those who work every day to keep our establishments and streets alive. I encourage citizens to take advantage of these vouchers and continue to trust in proximity commerce. I also want to encourage establishments to join these types of initiatives and continue working together to strengthen local trade." Intsausti also called on businesses to participate in joint actions.
The vouchers can be purchased from November 16 until stocks last, exclusively at the Ordizia Trade Office (Santa María street, 21). They can be used from the same day until December 16 at the 74 establishments participating in the campaign.
Through this initiative, organized in collaboration with the Ordizian traders' association, the City Council aims to encourage citizens to discover and prioritize Ordizia's commercial and service offerings, particularly during the autumn-winter season and for Christmas shopping. The campaign seeks to support local businesses and help keep Ordizia's streets vibrant.
