Smart Destinations Announces One-Day Sale on Great U.S. Cities Getaways

BOSTON, June 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fourth of July brings out the best in American cities, and now it's for great savings as well, thanks to the Smart Destinations' one-day sale on 3, 5 and 7-day Go City Cards and 5, 7 and 10-attraction New York City Explorer Passes – the best chance of the summer for travelers to take advantage of the biggest savings available on hundreds of top attractions across the nation.

For today, Friday, June 29th, only, online and phone shoppers can save an additional 20% off Smart Destinations' cards and passes that already save visitors up to 55% on tours, museums, cruises, theme parks, bike/boat rentals, and other top activities. Destinations on sale include Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Oahu, Orlando, San Diego and San Francisco.

"In the spirit of the Fourth of July, our customers get a fantastic deal so they can save even more money enjoying great American cities," said Brian Carr, Chief Marketing Officer of Smart Destinations. He noted that AAA forecasts 42 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the holiday period, a 4.9% rise from a year earlier.

"For example, in San Diego, this means a family of four can save up to an additional $208 on our passes on top of the 55% they already save over regular admission rates," Carr said. "That's like getting more than 50 gallons of gas for free to get there and back."

Cards and passes can be activated for use anytime within the next 12 months. To take advantage of the exclusive savings on Friday June 29 only, go to www.smartdestinations.com or call 800-887-9103.
