Virginia Offers Prizes for Visiting its Website

The Virginia Tourism Corporation, the state's tourism promotional office, is trying a novel approach to attracting more visitors to its website.  Prizes, prizes and more prizes.

The web address is www.Virginia.org/OneInAMillion.  For every 100,000 visitors to the site, a new set of prizes is unlocked and put up for grabs.  According to a press release from the tourism office, the higher the number of entries, the bigger and better the prizes. 

People can be entered once by registering on the main page.  They can gain more entries by sharing a link to the page through email or social media.

Officials are hoping the contest will attract more website visitors and possibly more in-person visits to Virginia.  Gas prices, which have dropped about 15 cents a gallon since last year but remain fairly high, could affect the summer travel season, travel experts are predicting.

The promotion runs through May 31st.
