Tourism Regina Launches City Promo Card
Tourism Regina has partnered with businesses and event organizers to launch a promo card program that encourages visitors to explore the city.
“Regina is buzzing with creativity, flavour and heart and our local businesses are at the centre of it all,” said Mayor Chad Bachynski. “This promo card is more than a perk for visitors – it’s an invitation to dive into the incredible experiences that make our city unforgettable. From our vibrant shops, local cuisine and world-class attractions, Regina has so much to offer and we’re thrilled to showcase it in a way that directly supports the entrepreneurs and creators who make our community shine.”
The promo card works like a pre-paid credit card that can be used at participating businesses within the city. The promo cards are provided by Tourism Regina to visitors as a sustainable tourism initiative to help activate events.
“This partnership with Tourism Regina is a great way to encourage conference guests to extend their stays and experience more of the city,” said Ashley Pelechytik, Director of Sales and Marketing, Hotel Saskatchewan. “With conferences taking place in the coming weeks, the promo card incentive is creating clear benefits for both our hotel and the city’s visitor economy.”
This initiative is designed to encourage visitors to explore the community and spend locally. Rather than Tourism Regina providing small gifts that may or may not be saved, visitors can use the promo cards to shop, dine and make memories how they choose.
“We have tourists from around the world visit Everyday Kitchen,” said Mark Shmelinski, co-owner of Everyday Kitchen and participant of the program. “The Tourism Regina promo card has helped to draw new people in and encouraged them to support our business.”
Tourism Regina works with event organizers and hospitality groups to distribute promo cards during events and to visitors when they arrive in Regina. Cards can be redeemed at more than 60 participating local businesses, including stores, restaurants, attractions and services. The promo cards have a set expiry date which encourages guests to redeem the card during their visit.
Information on how and where to redeem the promo cards is available at TourismRegina.com/Regina-Promo-Card. This is also where businesses can learn how to sign up.
