The Prince William County Office of Tourism–Visit Prince William–launched a romance-themed promotion through its ‘Passport to Prince William’ digital passport today.

“Since its December 2020 launch, the ‘Passport to Prince William’ has far surpassed our expectations,” stated Ann Marie Maher, Director of Tourism for Prince William County. “The ‘Sweetest Deals’ campaign builds upon the Passport’s success by providing over 25 romance-themed offers perfect for Valentine’s Day and beyond.  It’s our way of connecting shoppers in the region to County businesses while we continue to mask-up and spread-out this winter,” she added.
