BROOKFIELD, WI (June 1, 2011)- With gas prices higher than last year, the hotel and lodging industry wants to help travelers find even more value while driving to their favorite Wisconsin overnight destinations this summer!

Starting June 1, visitors to the Gas Card Getaways page at wisconsinlodging.org can browse Wisconsin lodging properties offering special gas card promotions for overnight stays this summer. Properties from communities across the state are already set to participate in the program, with a range of promotional offers. Additional participating properties will continue to be added during the first two weeks of the program.

“The Gas Card Getaways promotion is a great way to let travelers know that in addition to offering so many great Wisconsin experiences around the state, many lodging properties are adding a complementary Gas Card when you stay with them,” said Trisha Pugal, President, CEO of the Wisconsin Hotel & Lodging Association (WH&LA). “This timely and generous offer can help out with expenses so even more people can enjoy the fun of a Wisconsin Getaway this summer.”
