TORONTO, September 21, 2021 – DCR Strategies Inc., one of Canada’s leading payments providers, announced its partnership with Visit Kingston to support the Ontario city’s economic recovery. In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, local spending has declined and the hospitality industry is slow to recover.
To drive recovery, Visit Kingston has partnered with hotels to create a unique promotion for Kingston visitors and residents. Starting September 6, 2021, hotel guests who book a minimum two-night stay at a participating hotel will receive a $100 Visa® prepaid card at check-in to spend during their trip.
Card recipients are encouraged to use the cards while shopping or dining at local businesses, as the cards are geo-restricted to Visa® merchants within the city limits. The cards help visitors explore Kingston while uplifting businesses when they need it the most, making the program beneficial for all stakeholders.
The prepaid card art is custom-designed by DCR Strategies Inc. with Visit Kingston’s logo to raise awareness of tourism efforts in the community. A convenient mobile app is also provided for card recipients to check transactions on the go, called the TruCash Balance Checker.
“Our tourism industry across Canada has been one of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re thrilled to partner with Kingston and give back to our nearby communities through incentive programs,” said Diana Fletcher, President of DCR Strategies Inc.
Visit Kingston’s promotion of over 2000 cards will run throughout the coming months, with the potential for an extension into 2022. For more information about booking your stay or the terms and conditions, please go to visitkingston.ca/closer/.
