Santa Maria Valley, in California’s Central Coast, which is recognized for its vineyards and wineries, is giving tourists $100 to spend on local businesses during their stay — however, there’s a catch.
So as to get the $100 tourist card, the tourist must spend at least two nights at a qualifying hotel within the Santa Maria Valley before March 31, as per the website information.
Once guests book their hotel reservation, they must fill out a form to apply for their “stimulus,” the website stated. Tourists who meet the requirements will have their gift cards ready for them at their hotels.
The cards can be utilized at any of the 50 restaurants or 34 tasting rooms within the Santa Maria Valley, the website stated.
Tourists can also use their $100 on local breweries, vineyards, and attractions within the area.
According to the website, only 500 tourists will receive gift cards. The promotion is also only available for new bookings.
Although the area is beckoning new tourist businesses in Santa Maria Valley are still following California’s coronavirus guidelines, the website stated.
“We expect that all tourists to the area will do their part to respect our region and our state by practicing social distancing, carrying masks, and washing their hands regularly,” the website says.
Any gift card recipients who do not follow the state guidelines “will be disqualified from this promotion,” the terms and conditions stated.
