Montréal, Québec - Wednesday, October 18, 2006 – Québec Resorts and Country Inns establishments became, one year ago, more widely accessible to an even wider public thanks to a released gift card featuring the very latest state-of-the-art technology. Valid in all of the network's establishments, this promotional item remains an undeniable success since its birth in November 2005!
Both practical and flexible, it comes in an elegant folder that includes a complimentary card the purchaser can use to add a personal greeting. Its design is modern, trendy. It features a beautiful butterfly, and a tree shelters the network's logo. Everything about the card says 'getaway,’ and the countryside that is home to the network’s establishments is very present. 9,500 gift cards have been sold over the last year for a $1.6 million benefit to the members of the network.
The gift card can be purchased online at www.resortsquebec.com or by phone at 1 800 861-4024. It is available with no preloaded dollar value, affording the recipient the freedom to charge to it whatever amount in accordance with the occasion. A gift card is valid for three years following the date of purchase. It can be used for accommodations, dining, packages and most services and activities offered by the establishment chosen, such as spa services, outdoor activities and other indulgences.
Redeemable in all Québec Resorts and Country Inns establishments for a multitude of special delights, the Québec Resorts and Country Inns gift card always rises to the occasion! With Christmas around the corner, our card will make an enviable gift idea. Offering someone a dream getaway is a perfect present. The gift card is the passport that makes it possible.
The Québec Resorts and Country Inns gift certificate program had been around for 10 years, and its popularity never decreased. Gift certificate sales have topped the $1 million mark in each of the last four years. In 2005, they have doubled compared to the previous year. The new magnetic stripe gift card replaces the paper-based $50 and $100 gift certificates, although these will continue to be accepted network-wide until their expiry date.
