PHILADELPHIA, July 10, 2002 – This fall Philadelphia is bringing back the enormously successful Philly’s More Fun When You Sleep Over marketing campaign and its key component, the Philly Overnight Hotel Package, offering visitors the opportunity to stay one night and get the second night free. Available for check-in any Friday or Saturday from November 22, 2002 through March 30, 2003, the package includes one free night during a two-night stay and free hotel parking both nights. Guests also receive a Philly Overnight Card, good for a gift upon check-in, a Philadelphia Trolley Works and more.

Developed by the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation, the Philly Overnight Hotel Package, which will be available at dozens of properties, can be booked online at www.gophila.com or directly through a participating hotel beginning on November 1, 2002. An Incredible One-Night Rate (minus the parking and tour amenities) is also available any night of the week, based upon availability.
