If you need a reason to visit Victoria this summer–besides the historic buildings, manicured gardens, and seaside trails–Tourism Victoria has an enticing offer.
Use their reservation system to book at least two nights’ accommodation in Victoria in August, and get your ferry ride for FREE. That’s a return trip to and from Tsawwassen for two adults and one undersized vehicle–a savings of about $70 each way.
“With the price of fuel well above last year’s levels, we understand what many consumers are dealing with and want to be a small part of the solution that will allow them to experience this amazing destination,” commented Tourism Victoria president Robert Gialloreto in a press release.
There’s some fine print, of course–visit Tourism Victoria’s website for all the details–but it seems a solid deal. My only criticism is that the bargain applies only to those travelling with a vehicle. Walk-on passengers opting for a more eco-conscious trip to the capital city are excluded.
