Getaways are packages and specials that individual businesses may add to their organization listings on VisitMaine.com, MaineLakesAndMountains.com, DowneastAcadia.com, VisitAroostook.com, KennebecValley.org, TheMaineHighlands.com, and MainesMidCoast.com allowing people who clicked on your organization listing to see the packages & specials that you have available for that organization.

Getaway Types

Packages
Packages offered on VisitMaine.com bundle a two-night stay with a minimum of two additional elements that are normally booked separately. This is intended to create an experience for the visitor such as lodging, meals, and/or an experience. Pricing should be inclusive of the elements and be for a pre-determined length of time.
Specials
Specials are pricing opportunities and could be any tourism product from lodging, meals, or activities promoting a single product. It is an opportunity for your business to develop sales during off-peak periods through pricing incentives.
