Dallas/Fort
Worth, TX – July 2010 – As summer begins to wind down and tourists looks
for fun weekend trips to take before school starts, DFW has expanded its

in the area.
In
addition to 2 and 3-day passes, 1-day and annual passes are now available.

as the opportunity to purchase discounted tickets to other area attractions.

the pass, and visitors choose which attractions to attend and when to attend.
The pass is activated for its time period once it is scanned at the first

Months
of research were conducted in development of the pass, which included a
national survey completed by over 3,000 respondents and identified what
attractions visitors would find most interesting for a bundled pass program.
The Attractions Pass packages together a mixture of culture, western heritage,
and family fun to include all of the types of attractions that respondents
said they wanted.

Dallas/Fort Worth & Beyond Attractions Pass can be purchased through
the Council’s web site at DFWandBeyond.com/save.
The passes are also being sold at the concierge desks (credit card transactions
only) at NorthPark Center and Galleria Dallas along with the Dallas Visitor
Center located in the Old Red Courthouse in Downtown Dallas. To find out
