Visit Rancho Cordova Promotes Program for Barrel District

RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - Visit Rancho Cordova, the official tourism organization for Rancho Cordova, California, is launching the Barrel District Passport, a new program that aims to bring visitors and locals to Rancho Cordova Barrel District 

The passport is a free program that is open to anyone 21-or-older interested in signing up. With all nine (9) adult beverage establishments of the Barrel District included within the passport, it showcases the best of Rancho Cordova’s craft beverage scene in an easy, mobile-friendly way. 

“We’re thrilled to launch the Barrel District Passport and invite our hotel guests and visitors to the Rancho Cordova Barrel District,” said Leena Riggs, Director of Marketing and Partnerships.

Conversations around bringing more hotel guests to the Rancho Cordova Barrel District began in May, 2021 and led Visit Rancho Cordova to reach out to a well-known technology company in the travel space, Bandwango. Bandwango technology is designed to support convenient free and paid passes and other experiences created by destinations which are available to visitors and residents.   

Once launched, Barrel District Passport holders will be able to visit a dedicated mobile passport landing page where they can sign-up their Barrel District Passport by merely providing their name, e-mail address and mobile phone number. A link is then sent to their mobile phone, which opens the passport and directs the user to add the button icon to their home screen, where they can access it any time. There is never anything to download, and no bulky apps take up space on a user’s cellular phone.

Once the Barrel District Passport holder is ready to redeem his or her pass, they simply hand their phone over at the checkout counter to access the savings. To enter for a chance to win the monthly sweepstakes prize, the Barrel District Passport holder needs to check-in through their pass at each of the nine (9) locations in the Rancho Cordova Barrel District within a calendar month. Winners will be contacted within the first weeks of the following calendar month.

The pass launched on November 12, 2021. 

RCTT serves as the tourism bureau for Rancho Cordova. With 17 lodging properties within the city limits, offering economy to Four Diamond accommodations, Rancho Cordova is the ideal basecamp to explore northern California. Sacramento International Airport is located 25 miles away. For more information on Rancho Cordova, visit www.visitranchocordova.com.
