Explore Minnesota Winter Passport

//  by 

Explore Minnesota is inviting winter sports and rental businesses to participate with an all-new MN Winter Sports Passport running Dec. 15 – March 15. This is a free opportunity to the first 100 interested businesses (20 per region) to respond. Businesses to be featured on the passport will include those that offer winter sports activities and rentals such as downhill skiing, cross country skiing, snow tubing, ice skating, snowshoeing, dog sledding, ice fishing, winter biking and snowmobiling.

The goal of the passport is to encourage folks to get out and experience fun new winter adventures and create magical Minnesota memories in efforts to increase awareness and exposure of winter sports and rental businesses throughout the state resulting in increased traffic and sales. Marketing of the passport will include a paid targeted email campaign, Explore Minnesota social postings & e-newsletter inclusion and a variety of partnership media opportunities.

HOW THE MN WINTER SPORTS PASSPORT WORKS:

  • The passport is a GPS based mobile platform that allows participants to register for their free passport and check in at participating winter sports and rental businesses to redeem discounts.
  • Participants simply show the discount on their phone to the participating business staff to redeem the deal.
  • The passport limits each participant with one deal per location.
  • The first 100 businesses (limited to 20 businesses per region) that reply to glori.rantz@state.mn.us and meet the requirements noted below will be included within the passport.
