Stay An Extra Day – Free or Discounted

The Utah Office of Tourism and the Utah Department of Transportation have teamed up to sponsor a "Stay and Extra Day" promotion, to entice travelers to stay longer after summer holidays. The program features discounts at popular businesses in many Utah destinations.

UDOT summarizes the program this way: "UDOT has partnered with travel venues and attractions across the state to offer discounts and incentives to travelers to extend their summer weekend vacations. Each offer is based exclusively on the Thursday or Tuesday surrounding the Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Pioneer Day and Labor Day holidays and/or on a Thursday or Monday for any other weekend this summer.

"The 'Stay an Extra Day' promotion will help reduce the number of vehicles traveling during peak travel times, as well as bolster in-state tourism by encouraging extended stays. Travelers can take advantage of these great offers by viewing the details below and then contacting the destination directly."

UDOT has this list of participating businesses, with specific info about the deals they offer.

Many participating businesses offer discounted or free lodging; some also offer discounts on activities ranging from golf to sailing to rafting.
