THE "BIG DEAL"
Portland, Oregon

WHAT'S THE "BIG DEAL" ABOUT PORTLAND, OREGON?

The Portland "Big Deal" - the Portland Oregon Visitors Association's (POVA) off-season package program that offers discounts at hotels, attractions, performances, restaurants and retail establishments, as well as reduced fares on Southwest Airlines and the Amtrak Cascades route - is returning for its fourth season.
"Big Deal" travelers will find that Portland's wealth of fall, winter and spring activities belies the notion of a sleepy "off-season." Performing arts groups have full calendars, while the newly expanded Portland Art Museum offers outstanding exhibits and collections.

The "Big Deal" brochure contains special vouchers and detailed information on Portland discounts, which include complimentary breakfast and parking at participating hotels.

Additional bargains include:

  • $1 off admissions to Portland-area attractions
  • $10 off dinner for two at participating restaurants
  • Buy-one-get-one-free admission to select cultural performances
  • 25% off round-trip Portland-bound travel on Amtrak's Cascades route
  • 10% savings with Southwest Airlines
  • And special offers and savings throughout the newly expanded Pioneer Place, Portland's upscale shopping destination

This year's campaign runs from October 2001 through May 31, 2002. The "Big Deal" brochure offers 24 value-filled pages, and travelers now have two easy ways to book their "Big Deal" rooms and receive information about discounts. Call POVA's toll-free hot line, 1-87-PORTLAND (1-877-678-5263), or use the online booking service for participating properties at http://www.travelportland.com.
