ReadysetDC A CREATIVE URBAN ENTERPRISE

Date Nights DC

Destination DC, the city’s official tourism agency, has recently launched a new promotion called “Date Nights DC: A 28 Day Stimulus Plan for Love & Relationships“. As February as the slowest month in DC tourism, “Date Nights DC” will promote the city’s culture and dining scene. The agency hopes to increase foot traffic in Washington during a month considered as the slowest month in the city’s tourism.

“Date Nights DC” has also selected an official spokesperson (or “Secretary”) of the new agency, sex and relationship expert, Dr. Ruth Westheimer. The promotion will take place throughout February. The stimulus plan includes exclusive packages with deals and discounts on hotels, restaurants, attractions offered in February (from the press release):

• Create-a-Date: A searchable database of more than 80 creative date
  ideas to help locals and visitors plan outings with their girlfriends,
  boyfriends, families, just the girls and just the guys. Organized by
  theme and neighborhoods, date planners will find LGBT-centered dates,
  movie-themed dates and itineraries for politics buffs, movie fans,
  food and wine lovers and more.
• Date Concierge: An option to call or email the “Date Concierge” who
  will book each element of your desired date, from hotel room to dinner
  reservations to car service at no additional cost, through a
  partnership with the Washington Area Concierge Association. The Date
