MONTPELIER, Vt. – Vermont
tourism officials are expecting a busy foliage
season this year and encourage visitors to take
advantage of midweek deals being offered through
the fall.
Dozens of inns, hotels,
historic sites and museums are offering a
variety of midweek specials during the fall
foliage season as part of the statewide “Midweek
Peek” promotion organized by the Vermont
Department of Tourism and Marketing. Deals range
from discounted lodging to reduced admission
prices to free Vermont products. For details,
visit
www.VermontVacation.com/midweek.
“Foliage season is an
incredibly popular time to come to Vermont, but
visitors can still find a diverse range of
options for lodging, dining and activities,
especially midweek,” says Vermont Tourism and
Marketing Commissioner Bruce Hyde. “Fall in
Vermont is spectacular any day of the week, and
we hope people will take advantage of the
special ‘Midweek Peek’ deals around the state.”
During fall foliage,
Vermont’s magnificent countryside shimmers in
red, orange, green and gold, drawing millions of
visitors here from all corners of the globe.
Vermont forestry experts agree with the
prediction that a beautiful foliage season is on
the way.
“The trees throughout Vermont
received an abundance of moisture this summer,
which is one of the key ingredients to a bright
foliage season,” says Ginger Anderson, Chief of
Forest Management for the Vermont Department of
Forests, Parks and Recreation. “Vermont is
currently experiencing a drying trend and will
begin to transition into typical fall weather
with warm days and cool nights. As that happens,
we expect Vermont's foliage to display
magnificent autumn color.”
The Vermont Department of
Tourism and Marketing offers a number of
resources on its website at
www.VermontVacation.com for foliage season
visitors.
