Many of you have heard about Travel Oregon’s exciting new campaign: Wanderfeast launched this week to promote all of the wonderful tastes of Oregon. This Fall, Oregon’s Adventure Coast will be hosting our own campaign…..Allow us to introduce to you: Chowder Bounty.
What is Chowder Bounty? So pleased you asked!
WHAT is Chowder Bounty? Chowder Bounty is a campaign that will be launched this Fall to attract visitors and promote overnight stays in the Coos Bay, North Bend, Charleston area. The campaign will offer visitors $50 in dining gift certificates when they stay for two nights or more in participating lodging properties. There will also be opportunities for people to vote for their favorite chowder and interact with each other through the Oregon’s Adventure Coast Facebook page. See Participating Restaurants.
WHO is promoting this? This campaign is being launched and managed by the Coos Bay – North Bend Visitor & Convention Bureau.
WHY are we doing this? Because we believe that we have the best Chowder in the country right here on the Oregon Coast. According to Katherine Hoppe, director of the VCB, value based vacations and packages have become increasingly popular with travelers. “We’re already a very affordable vacation destination compared to other coastal cities, we want to capitalize on that by packaging one of our best offerings, our chowder.”
WHEN is Chowder Bounty? Visitors will be able to take advantage of this opportunity from October 1, 2010 – March 1, 2011
WHERE is Chowder Bounty? Hotels and other lodging facilities in Coos Bay, North Bend and Charleston, Oregon. To see our list of participating hotels visit our Chowder Bounty Website.
