Getaways are packages and specials that individual businesses may add to their organization listings on VisitMaine.com allowing people who clicked on your organization listing to see the packages & specials that you have available for that organization.
Getaway Types
Packages Packages offered on VisitMaine.com bundle a two-night stay with a minimum of two additional elements that are normally booked separately. This is intended to create an experience for the visitor such as lodging, meals, and/or an experience. Pricing should be inclusive of the elements and be for a pre-determined length of time.
FreeStayMainePackages The FreeStayMaine program has been developed to encourage cruise passengers to return to Maine for extended land based stays. Participating businesses can encourage return visits by offering special promotions for the vacationer on the FreeStayMaine website.
Specials Specials are pricing opportunities and could be any tourism product from lodging, meals, or activities promoting a single product. It is an opportunity for your business to develop sales during off-peak periods through pricing incentives.
