Travel Show attendees who visit the Friendly Planet booth will also receive a special $50 discount coupon for use on any Friendly Planet tour.

“7 Exotic Destinations Experienced for the Price of a Vegas Weekend”

The Captivating Costa Rica tour takes travelers through one of Central America’s jewels, with stops in San José, Arenal, Tobacon Hot Springs, Monteverde, and the Monteverde and Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserves. The tour includes round-trip airfare from Miami, including fuel surcharges, airline taxes and fees, all transfers, six nights in superior hotel accommodations, and breakfast daily. The winner of the trip will be randomly selected on Monday, Jan. 28, and will be announced on Friendly Planet Travel’s blog.

In addition to the giveaway, attendees will also have the chance to meet travel expert and President of Friendly Planet Travel, Peggy Goldman. Goldman and the Friendly Planet Travel team will be available at the show to answer questions, offer travel tips and advice, and share information on tour packages.

Goldman is scheduled to present “7 Exotic Destinations Experienced for the Price of a Vegas Weekend” on Saturday, Jan. 26 at 11:45 a.m. She will encourage travelers to trade in an ordinary trip for an extraordinary vacation by revealing global hotspots that cost less than the price of a weekend in Las Vegas.

“The Philadelphia Inquirer Travel Show inspires getaways for seasoned explorers and new travelers alike,” says Goldman. “We’ll be making those travel dreams a reality for one lucky attendee and their guest, who will tour the best of Costa Rica, all expenses paid. In addition, we will offer a special $50 discount coupon for attendees to use on any of our tours. The Friendly Planet team will be on hand at the show to help attendees explore the possibilities for their next trip with plenty of information as well as value-priced tour packages for everyone.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer Travel Show will take place Saturday, Jan. 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 27 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The Valley Forge Convention Center at the Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia, Pa.
