MONTPELIER, Vt. - Vermont tourism officials are expecting a busy foliage season this year and encourage visitors to take advantage of midweek deals being offered this fall.
Dozens of inns, hotels, historic sites and museums are offering a variety of midweek specials during the fall foliage season as part of the statewide "Midweek Peek" promotion organized by the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing. Deals range from discounted lodging to reduced admission prices to free Vermont products. For details, visit www.VermontVacation.com/midweek.
"Foliage season is an incredibly popular time to come to Vermont, but visitors can still find a diverse range of options for lodging, dining and activities, especially midweek," says Vermont Tourism and Marketing Commissioner Bruce Hyde. "Fall in Vermont is spectacular any day of the week, and we hope people will take advantage of the special 'Midweek Peek' deals around the state."
During fall foliage, Vermont's magnificent countryside shimmers in red, orange, green and gold, drawing millions of visitors here from all corners of the globe. Vermont forestry experts agree with the prediction that a beautiful foliage season is on the way.
"The trees throughout Vermont received an abundance of moisture this summer, which is one of the key ingredients to a bright foliage season," says Ginger Anderson, Chief of Forest Management for the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation. "Vermont is currently experiencing a drying trend and is transitioning into typical fall weather with warm days and cool nights. As that happens, we expect Vermont's foliage to display magnificent autumn color."
