Glendale promoting region’s ’7 Wonders’

The Glendale Convention & Visitors Bureau is giving away admission tickets to Wet ‘n’ Wild Phoenix, Challenger Space Center and Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium as part of its “Seven Wonders of the West Valley” promotion.

The wonders campaign is part of National Tourism Week which runs through Sunday and celebrates an industry that continues to serve as a vital economic stimulus for Glendale and the West Valley.

To enter to win tickets, go to visitglendale.com or visit the Glendale Visitor Center, 5800 W. Glenn Drive, Suite 140, in downtown Glendale. Deadline to enter is Monday.

Glendale and the West Valley welcome millions of tourists a year.

“With so many attractions, it is no wonder that people are visiting the West Valley,” said Lorraine Pino, Glendale CVB manager. “Our hotels also benefit from the number of visitors to the region, and we are thrilled to be up nearly 7 percent in recent hotel occupancy compared to last year.”

Glendale offers “Shop Glendale” discount cards, which are available to anyone who stops by the Glendale Visitor Center. The card offers discounts at retailers, restaurants, attractions and accommodations. The card can also be downloaded at visitglendale.com.
