Suppliers, City Offer Discounts

Washington - Hotels and city officials, looking to boost inbound travel during the dry spell between the November general election and the opening of the 105th Congress in early January, have teamed up to offer the first-ever Washington Winterfest, featuring hotel discounts and deals on shopping and tours.

The new program, designed jointly by the Hotel Association of Washington and the D.C. Committee to Promote Washington, will run from Nov. 22-Jan. 12 and includes up to 40 percent off hotel rates at more than 50 properties.

Visitors to the city will receive a promotional package upon checkin at their hotel, including a reduced room rate, discount coupons for shops and sightseeing programs.
