In a typical (read: non-COVID) year, Tennessee gets a whole lot of tourism dollars. In fact, in 2019, they hit a record-high $23 billion in tourism revenue.
Obviously, tourism in the state took a hit in 2020 (although based on all the people we saw during our trip to Pigeon Forge in November 2020, their tourism dollars were, by far, not $0). So to get people to start traveling to Tennessee again, the state is now offering travelers $250 flight vouchers for American, Delta or Southwest, if they book 2-nights at participating hotels in Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis or Nashville.
The campaign is called Tennessee on Me and will be offered to the first 10,000 people who take them up on it.
Here’s more info, courtesy of Country music star Brad Paisley and the Governor of Tennessee, Bill Lee:
Here are some of the rules, as per their FAQ:
- The offer is available while supplies last for hotel stays booked before September 15, 2021.
- Travel dates must be between July 11, 2021 to December 30, 2021 and some blackout dates may apply.
- This offer is limited to two (2) package reservations per individual.
- Full payment is required at the time of booking.
- A minimum of a 2-night stay must include at least one of these nights: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
