Tourist Trap

Let's face it, Akron's not exactly a tourist trap. Sure, Neil Zurcher might One Tank Trip his way down here every once in a while for an Aero's game or a slice at Luigi's, but Joe Average isn't planning his Akron vacation months in advance (I think it has something to do with the lack of a beach). But for those who do venture their way over here or for those of locals who love Downtown, you need to jump on board and get ready for the Do Downtown discount card. With it you'll be able to snag discounts at participating venues in downtown. They'll be available June 1st.

This backs up what The BJ is saying.

Tourism businesses in an increasing number of cities are collaborating more often than competing as they try to recover from a slump, offering discount passes and cards good for a variety of attractions, hotels, restaurants and shops.

[...]They give businesses an extra way to advertise and allow them to track where consumers go, when they get there and other marketing information.

If you're interested in getting your hands on an Akron card, visit DowntownAkron.com. You know Mia and I are in line for our cards; we really want some cheap drinks.
