BRISTOL, VT—VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations has announced a catalog request sweepstakes in which one winner will be awarded an active vacation to Tuscany.

 

There are two ways to enter the sweepstakes. If you have never traveled with VBT, simply request a catalog at www.vbt.com  and you will be automatically entered to win a trip to Tuscany. If you have vacationed with VBT in the past, then refer a friend to the active travel company on VBT’s website referral page and you and your friend will be entered to win a Tuscan vacation.

 

“We often hear that all it takes is one VBT vacation and you’re hooked. That’s how we’ve developed relationships with many of our frequent VBT Travelers over the years. This sweepstakes is an exciting way to reward our loyal travelers and a great way to reach prospective new guests to fill them in on the types of life-changing vacations that we offer. It’s fast, easy and you could end up winning the trip of a lifetime!” said Gregg Marston.

 

VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations has expanded their 2013 vacation offerings to 46 Bicycling, Bike & Barge, Walking and Cross-Country Skiing Vacations. As they enter into the new year, the 42 year old company hopes to expand their audience as well.

 

“We’re always on the lookout for new travelers to join us on our active vacations. We know that 98 percent of our travelers plan to travel with us again and that 99 percent of our guests say they’ll recommend us to a friend. So, this is a fun way to introduce new travelers to a life-changing VBT vacation,” said Director of Marketing, Paul Williams.

 

The sweepstakes will run from February 4 through April 30, 2013 and a winner will be chosen at random and announced on May 3, 2013. The prize, VBT’s Tuscany by the Sea vacation for one, will be provided with roundtrip airfare from New York. The Tuscany biking vacation includes top quality accommodations, many meals, the service of two bilingual local Trip Leaders, vehicle support and the use of a custom bicycle and helmet.
