Visitors Encouraged to 'Pack Your Bags for Amelia Island'
AMELIA ISLAND, Fla., June 18 PRNewswire — As airlines begin to make costly changes to checked baggage policies, one Florida destination is offering travelers some welcome relief. Amelia Island, located off the northeastern-most coast of Florida, has created a new "Pack Your Bags for Amelia Island" program that includes a room credit up to $80 for checked baggage fees* charged to guests by the airlines. The "Pack Your Bags" program is being offered at several of the island's hotels, resorts and bed-and-breakfast inns, and is available through September 30, 2008 on stays of three or more nights at the participating hotels.
With this latest hurdle the airlines are putting up, we wanted to give air travelers a much-needed break," said Gil Langley, Managing Director of the Tourist Development Council. "You don't have to pack a lot to enjoy the best of Amelia Island, but some visitors like to have the choice without being penalized."
Recently voted one of the top 10 North American Island's in Conde Nast Traveler's Reader's Choice Awards, Amelia Island is treasured for its irresistible mix of quiet beaches, natural beauty, luxury spas, championship golf, unique history, and charming Victorian-era character. With its world class resorts, charming inns, and value hotels and condominiums, Amelia Island has a wide variety of accommodation choices for truly memorable getaways.
