Greetings,
For those who may have missed the South Lake Tahoe Lodging Association Meeting today, the main topic was growing our low season by promoting the many activities that are available. The ultimate goal is for all of us to leverage our websites and email databases to promote the same message resulting in a far more impactful campaign than one business trying to do it alone.
The activity providers have helped make it easier than ever to package and promote these products. Many have offered discounts or created incentives. As you know we as hotels deeply discount this time of year and are we glad to see other business doing the same to work toward a common goal.
Below you will find text describing each business, photos and contact information. Include this content on your website and email newsletter. Also do not hesitate to contact the activity providers for more information and packaging opportunities.
