KANSAS CITY, MO (June 17, 2009) – With the uncertainty consumers are feeling today, planning a vacation getaway for the family might seem like a daunting task. But according to a recent Trip Advisor poll, families are still looking to take that much needed escape with their family this summer.
KANSAS CITY, MO (June 17, 2009) – With the uncertainty consumers are feeling today, planning a vacation getaway for the family might seem like a daunting task. But according to a recent Trip Advisor poll, families are still looking to take that much needed escape with their family this summer.
And why shouldn’t they? Local entertainment and hospitality venues are developing attractive pricing and promotions to entice consumers. But are they getting the same experience?
“Guests shouldn’t have to trade down on experience just because they are getting a great deal,” said Ted Frerking, General Manager at Sheraton Kansas City Sports Complex.
“Families are choosing to use their valuable time off and hard earned dollars on the most economical options, but that still deliver the fun, memorable experience their family is looking for. CoCo Key Water Resort is that affordable, vacation close to home.”
CoCo Key Water Resorts across the country have developed some creative, value packages for those seeking solace from these trying times. Base packages start at $169-$199, which includes an overnight stay and four (4) water park passes good for two (2) full days of water park access. Consumers can save even more when purchasing a specialty package such as the GetWetAway option.
The GetWetAway Super Value Package is the best deal of the summer and comes with hotel accommodations for four (4), two (2) full days of Water Park access, two (2) $5 arcade cards, souvenir bag with activities for the kids, Welch’s Purple 100% Grape Juice and a bonus of two (2) FREE return day passes to CoCo Key valid through October 9, 2009 (not valid on Saturdays). This package starts at $179-$209 and includes more than $75 of “goodies” just for bundling.
Also this summer, CoCo Key Water Resorts will host a variety of interactive activities, attractive food and beverage offers and kid-friendly special events.
“It’s all about providing our guests that unforgettable family experience,” said Frerking. “Not only do we have great deals out there, but we’ve got a great calendar of events planned for the families.”
In June, kids can bring their report card to any CoCo Key Water Resort and get a free day pass (with the purchase of an adult ticket) just for getting good grades. In July, consumers may experience Welch’s coloring contests and special day pass offers at www.cocokeywaterresort.com/welchs, while in August, CoCo Key will be pulling out the stops with a laundry list of activities and events for the family. Activities include hula hoop parties, sidewalk chalk contests, tiki parties, arcade challenges and more!
“At CoCo Key Water Resort, we want consumers to feel like they are on vacation - be it for an hour, day or several nights,” Frerking continues. “There’s no need to worry about what’s going on outside. We’ve got that covered.”
Inspired by historic Key West, CoCo Key combines the relaxation and enchantment of the Florida Keys with the wild excitement of a 60,000-sq. ft. indoor water park. The water park includes a lazy river, body and raft slides, an indoor-outdoor spa, and the Parrot’s Perch Play Island, an interactive water play structure that kids and parents can enjoy together.
