Philly’s More Holiday Fun
The Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation is doing a holidays promotion starting today. In addition to getting $50 off any hotel booking (tell the in-laws they’re not crashing on your couch this year) they also have a gift guide with 50 Philly gifts and a google map detailing all 50 gifts. And even better, one lucky person gets to win all 50 gifts.
