Sebring Friends + Family Pass: How to Plan the Perfect Safecation
As establishments reopen and the CDC lowers restrictions, residents are slowly but surely easing back to a normal routine again. For Sebring and its surrounding areas, this means hotels, restaurants and attractions are ready to welcome back locals for a safecation and return to the lively atmosphere it once was. Local business owners are working hard to ensure a safe and clean environment for residents. With new cleaning procedures and social distancing orders strongly implemented, establishments are taking proper precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests.
The Sebring area is positioned to be the perfect spot to kickstart a travel experience for locals while still staying close to home. Located just a road trip away from Orlando, Tampa and South Florida, we’re thrilled to eventually welcome visitors near and far, but for now, we’ve partnered with local businesses to help local and close by visitors get out and explore Sebring safely and inexpensively through the Sebring Friends + Family Pass.
What Is the Sebring Friends + Family Pass and Where Can I Use It?
While “life as usual” makes a slow return across the nation, we understand that travel plans aren’t a priority just yet. The Sebring Friends + Family Pass encourages you to reconnect with loved ones—and have fun while doing it—all the while staying close to home. Local businesses in Sebring and surrounding areas are on board and ready to welcome frequenters and newcomers by offering special promotions from now until the end of October.
Our new digital passport allows you to find the best local deals in town and access it through your phone, so you can plan your itinerary on the go. Simply enter your information and choose the free Friends + Family Pass for exclusive deals on local favorites, or select the Citrus Golf Trail Pass for a golf lover’s getaway. And if you’re not quite sure where to begin, here are a few places to get your list started for a seamless staycation.
