Keeping Up with Changing Travel Trends

amish acresThere are definite signs people are traveling shorter distances, so Amish Acres has adjusted its services and offerings to appeal to a more local audience. For example, it’s expanded its restaurant menu beyond the Threshers Dinner introducing fresh ideas such as the new Sunday Buffet, German Sausage Wednesdays, and Half-Price Thursdays with a ½ price rib dinner, ½ price theatre tickets (non-reserved seating) and ½ price hotel suites – encouraging people to start their weekend getaway early. And it seems to be working.

Amish Acres has also taken a totally different marketing approach and forged cooperative partnerships with CVS in over 400 of its Midwest stores and all Kroger, Owens, and Scotts stores in most of Indiana.

    We just got back from our honeymoon to Bangkok and really wish that we didn’t have to leave as we absolutely loved it and will definitely visit once again! We stayed at The Bungalow Mountain Resort which I can surely recommend. We rented a motorbike at $50 for 9 days, it was by far the most cost effective and a convienent way to go and it was alot of fun too! The zoo is definitely worth while taking a tour. Also restaurants in Bangkok City to visit are The Sweet n Spicy-romantic, delish and cool. Book a table with your feet in the ocean!
