Spring has sprung, the grass has risen - but where are all the visitors?

It appears the economic blues have had a strong impact on the tourist trade this year. Normally, the Parry Sound attractions and 40 Bay Street Bed & Breakfast are in full swing with people from the UK and Europe keeping us busy during the week, and visitors from the GTA on the weekends. That's not the case this year.

So, we got together and decided that we'd rather have fun with you, then sit here twiddling our thumbs. So, for the next month, we have put together some really great packages to encourage you to come and visit. These packages are going to go fast, so call us now at 1-866-371-2638 or click here to send an e-mail to book your getaway now!

Our "Power and Pamper" package is a great getaway for couples - Bearclaw Tours are providing the Power with a full or 1/2 day ATV tour. A Honda 420 or 400cc Canadian Trail edition, 4 wheel drive, fully automatic ATV, with helmet, goggles and gloves are all included. You receive a 20% discount on their ATV tours (that's a savings of up to $55/person!) until June 21st. Once you've booked that with Andrew, give us a call! You can spend the night at 40 Bay Street Bed & Breakfast, and after a fortifying breakfast the next morning, spend 3 hours being pampered with pedicures, back and neck massages for both of you at Perfectly Pampered! Cost for the pamper portion, including accommodations and breakfast, is only $275.00 plus taxes per couple! Book now to ensure you can reserve your favourite room at 40 Bay Street B&B!

For 2009, we have a "Stay and Play" golf package to help launch the opening of the Ridge at Manitou to public play. Book a minimum one night stay at 40 Bay Street Bed & Breakfast and then enjoy the savings at the Ridge! Until June 18th, stay and play golf rates (based on double occupancy) are $158.00/person (weekdays) or $173.00/person (weekends) plus taxes, and includes a power cart, one night accommodation and an incredible breakfast the next morning. The course has golf clubs available for rental, and there is an incredible bistro-style restaurant to enjoy a meal before or after your game. Call us at 1-866-371-2638 or check our availability calendar on the web site for possible dates.

If you've attended a performance at the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts, you know what a spectacular venue it is! There isn't a bad seat in the place, the acoustics are phenomenal and the sunsets from the deck are breath-taking! On June 20th, there is "The Summerside" Surf & Turf Kitchen Party, a fundraiser for the Stockey Centre and Sail Parry Sound. 40 Bay Street Bed & Breakfast is supporting this fundraiser by offering a great package! Book before June 1st and pay only $113.00/person plus taxes (based on double occupancy), for a steak and lobster feast, oyster shucking contests, original east coast entertainment and one night's accommodation with a full breakfast the next morning! Remember - call us before June 1st to ensure tickets to this great event!

These time sensitive packages are available for less than a month! Don't miss out! Call us at 1-866-371-2638 or click here to send us an e-mail. We miss you!
