Smart Destinations Marks One Millionth Customer With "Thanks A Million" Sweepstakes Plus 10% Off Passes

BOSTON, July 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Smart Destinations, the leading provider of multi-attraction passes designed to save travelers time and money, today announced it is celebrating the passage of the one millionth customer milestone with "Thanks A Million," a sale and sweepstakes as big as America itself:

• 10% Pass Discount:  Now through August 4, consumers planning travel to any of the company's destinations from New York City to Hawaii can enjoy an additional 10% discount on the price of any Go City Card or Explorer Pass, which already offer savings everyday of up to 55% on city attractions.*
• Pass Giveaways:  Every day during the month of August, Smart Destinations will be giving away either a three-day Go City Card for any destination or an Explorer Pass for any three attractions in New York City or Las Vegas.  
• Grand Prize:  All this leads up to the grand prize—a 4-day/3-night vacation for two to any Smart Destination locale (airfare and hotel), along with two 3-day passes for that destination.  Winner of the Grand Prize will be named September 6.

"'Thanks A Million' is our way of saying thank you to the many, many individuals and families who have used our products.  Over the past several years we've helped one million savvy travelers save huge money on all their favorite attractions," said Cecelia Dahl, President and Founder of Smart Destinations.  "They've made us one of America's top attraction discount resources—and its time to celebrate in a very big way."

Since 2003, Smart Destinations has been transforming the tourist attraction marketplace across the U.S. by packaging tours, museums, cruises, theme parks, bike/Segway®/boat rentals and other attractions at discounts far below their everyday prices.  The combination of savings and convenience has resulted in a customer satisfaction rating of 96%; moreover, Smart Destinations has led with innovations such as the Go Select pass that lets you build your own custom pass based on your interests.

"Reaching the one million customer mark holds great significance for us, particularly in an era when consumers are inundated with local 'daily deals,'" noted Dahl.  "People love Smart Destinations because we put the traveler in control.  With our passes, travelers don't have to hope that a given deal is issued for an attraction they plan on visiting, on the day they plan to visit it.  Our deals cover all of the most popular attractions, every day.  That way our customers can decide exactly what they want to visit, knowing they'll experience it at the best price."
