Arizona Hotel & Lodging Association's One-of-a-Kind Online Auction Offers Special "Buy Now" Price to Kick off National Tourism Week
Tucson, Arizona (July 15, 2008) - Phoenix, Arizona, May 8, 2008 - In a salute to National Tourism Week, Arizona Hotel & Lodging Association will offer one special package from their semi-annual on-line auction, Discover Arizona, www.discoverazvacations.com, at a dramatically reduced one-time "buy now" price on Monday, May 12, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. During this two hour window, the Omni Oasis Package will be offered for only $425 (only one package is available, based on first come, first serve).
The Omni Oasis Package includes a two night stay and a round of golf for two at the 650-acre Omni Tucson National Resort, nestled in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains and recently selected as one of the "75 Best Golf Resorts in North America" by Golf Digest.
The Discover Arizona online vacation auction runs through May 16th at 2:00 p.m. and is a unique and interactive approach to highlight Arizona's diverse and captivating destinations, held in conjunction with National Tourism Week, which provides cities, states and travel-related businesses the opportunity to collectively champion the power of travel. This year's theme - Discover Great American Traditions - encourages travel to American locales and highlights the role that tourism plays in discovering the icons of a destination. With Arizona packages ranging from high adventure to low-key relaxation, the auction offers phenomenal values for you and your family or they make memorable gifts for college graduates, Father's Day, anniversaries and weddings. While some restrictions apply, these packages can be enjoyed in peak season when the combined costs would be dramatically higher.
"In light of the increase in both airfare and gas, there is even more incentive for Arizona residents to take advantage of these amazing in-state travel packages. Whether you're looking for a family weekend get-away in Northern Arizona, an indulgent pamper of a golf package in Tucson or Phoenix, or a houseboat vacation on Lake Mead, the auction offers spectacular opportunities to experience Arizona's countless treasures with significant savings," said Debbie Johnson, President and CEO of Arizona Hotel & Lodging Association.
Proceeds from the auction event will support Arizona Hotel & Lodging Association's Education Foundation, which provides continuing education scholarships for current students and offers opportunities for high school students anxious to pursue a career in this growing field. Additionally, community relations programs and activities that support Arizona's hospitality community will also be funded by this effort.
