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 planning some late winter or spring vacations here are the offers to check out from these tourism boards:
