A recent release by the New Jersey Division of Travel & Tourism is titled, Monthly Getaway Sweepstakes That Put Garden State Vacations on Center Stage. The getaway sweepstakes is an attempt to jump start tourism in New Jersey. Two areas in Cape May County were highlighted. Both Avalon and Wildwood made the list.
Some Frequently Asked Questions:
What do the Vacation Packages include?
All getaway packages include a minimum of two night's accommodations,
complimentary meals and vouchers for activities and/or entertainment
venues that vary as much as the destinations themselves. Ranging from
family-friendly beach adventures to romantic retreats at secluded
resorts, each month provides a new experience for visitors to discover
another region of New Jersey.
Where Can I Learn More?
Consumers can learn more about New Jersey's great destinations and the
sites featured in the packages by visiting the state's tourism website (www.visitnj.org) or the websites of the media partners for the sweepstakes - B101 in Philadelphia (www.b101radio.com) and 95.5 WPLJ in New York (www.wplj.com). Visitors to the sites can enter for a chance to win that month's featured getaway to the Garden State.
