Regional and city tourism boards here in Canada are back at it again looking to stimulate travel and have people stay in their areas! Over the summer we saw many of them provide incentives for hotel stays in their respective regions and a lot of those offers are back for the fall and winter. Typically the incentive is providing a gift card, discounts, free nights or other perks for booking and staying at
hotels in that said region or city. This type of promotion is steadily increasing in popularity in Canada ever since one of early trendsetters
started it off many years ago. That trendsetter was Tourism Vancouver
and Vancouver Hotel Destination Association who launched BeVancouver as
early as 2015. Now known as StayVancouverHotels we see them run their
gift card offers for stays in the Vancouver region several times per
year.
So
if you are still planning some fall or winter vacations here are the offers to check out from these tourism boards:
