Traverse City Tourism announces 2017 Winter/Spring 'True Escape' Packages

Michigan’s popular Traverse City resort area is offering visitors an added incentive to travel there during the 2017 winter/spring season.

Traverse City Tourism, the town’s official destination marketing organization, has announced its 2017 “Traverse City True Escape” package. From Jan. 2 until May 11, the package combines special rates at participating hotels and resorts with a wide range of discounts on winter recreation, shopping, dining and entertainment.

“It’s true that the busy pace of summer and fall has subsided, but everything people love about Traverse City is still here -- great restaurants, charming downtown boutiques, wine tastings, and exhilarating outdoor recreation,” said Traverse City Tourism spokesman Mike Norton. “And with fewer crowds and great off-season pricing, winter is the perfect time to visit.”

Best known as a summer vacation destination, the Traverse City region is winning accolades as a magnet for skiers, snowmobilers and snowshoe hikers who consider this one of the country’s most beautiful winter destinations. Budget Travel calls it one of the 11 “Coolest Winter Places in America” and Livability.com has it on its list of the nation’s best winter vacation destinations.

Traverse City prides itself on the diversity of its winter experiences (both indoors and outdoors) and on the sheer physical beauty of its surroundings. The region presents a wide range of quality winter recreation for a comparatively moderate price – which appeals to people who don’t want to spend an entire vacation doing the same thing over and over.
