Stay An Extra Night in Victoria On Us

Stay An Extra Night in Victoria On Us

Tourism Victoria in partnership with Clipper Vacations, is offering a fantastic new promotion for travel through April: buy a two night package including transportation from Seattle to Victoria on the Victoria Clipper and with select hotels, you’ll get a third night free.

”We have found that people are staying a little closer to home right now, and with kids free, this international getaway is being offered at a price that is perfect for families and those watching their budgets”, said Darrell Bryan, President and CEO of Clipper Vacations.

“As the destination marketing organization for Greater Victoria, it is imperative that we work with our partners to provide consumers with real value travel options,” said Robert Gialloreto, President and CEO of Tourism Victoria. “Clipper Vacations is a key partner and we look forward to the combination of our strengths in bringing visitors to our region."

Two night packages start at only $121 US per person based on double occupancy. Details about the limited time offer are available at http://www.clippervacations.com/ or by phone at 1-800-888-2535.

Victoria: Sunshine... Guaranteed

VICTORIA: SUNSHINE… GUARANTEED

Tourism Victoria is taking advantage of spring’s arrival and offering an unique promotion for travellers looking for an April getaway. When you book a minimum of two nights, for travel in April, if it rains more than 1.25 centimeters during any day of your stay, Tourism Victoria will pay the booking party $500.

“In this current challenging tourist season we need to reach directly to consumers in a creative way. Alberta has shown a good tendency for travel to our region and we’re hopeful that this fun promotion will stimulate their desire to come to Victoria at a time of year when our weather is traditionally significantly better. We’re hopeful the promotion will result in incremental bookings for hotel and B&B partners as well as stimulating further traffic in our attractions and other retail and service establishments.”

Details about the limited time offer are available at www.tourismvictoria.com/sunshine or by phone at 1-800-663-3883.
