Oregon’s Tualatin Valley Launches “The Great 2021 Getaway Giveaway,” Designed to Stimulate the Local Tourism Economy

The giveaway is an initiative to stimulate the local tourism economy by purchasing goods and services now and inspiring future travel to the destination.

BEAVERTON, OREGON, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In February, Oregon’s Washington County Visitors Association (WCVA) launched “The Great 2021 Getaway Giveaway,” a new initiative designed to stimulate Washington County’s hospitality industry, giving more than a thousand wanderlusters an opportunity to win hotel stays in Oregon’s Tualatin Valley. The giveaway is designed to aid in economic recovery in Tualatin Valley by purchasing in advance more than $330,000 in products from participating hotels, restaurants and attractions.

“By pre-purchasing all of the prizes for the sweepstakes, the WCVA has leveraged our resources for a much-needed monetary impact today and to attract travelers in the near future,” said Carolyn McCormick, president and CEO of the WCVA.

"We couldn’t be more grateful for the innovation and leadership of the WCVA as we struggle through the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Scott Youngblood, general manager of the Embassy Suites Washington Square. "This infusion of resource will help our business, our employees and our valued vendor partners as we deliver uncompromising service and safe accommodations to essential travelers."

In April 2020, the WCVA issued stimulus grants to Washington County hotels of cash payments of $10,000, for a total of $550,000 awarded in grants. This second stimulus from the WCVA includes local restaurants and attractions.
