CARLISLE, PA (May 4, 2011) - Cumberland Valley Bed & Breakfast Association is out to offer travelers relief from pain at the pumps during the busy spring and summer travel season.  Joining hundreds of other innkeepers across the U.S. and Canada, Cumberland Valley Bed & Breakfast Association is participating  in "B&Bs Kick Gas!" a grassroots campaign to help ease the burden of high gas prices and encourage travel to inns and B&Bs.  From now until June 30, 2011, members of the Cumberland Valley Bed & Breakfast Association will give away a $35 gas card whenever a guest books two rooms for two nights and carpools with another guest at one of the B&Bs.

"Our association wants to encourage travelers to take the trips they've planned this summer and not be sidelined by high gas prices," stated Joanne Kenney-Hawver, owner of the Red Cardinal Bed and Breakfast.  "We have joined the Better Way To Stay campaign's "B&Bs Kick Gas!" program to offer additional reasons for travelers to choose inns and B&Bs this summer. If gas incentives are added to complimentary breakfasts and beverages, wi-fi and welcoming hospitality, it's clear that inns and B&Bs make the ideal choice for those seeking value for their getaways," finished Ms. Kenney-Hawver.

The Cumberland Valley Bed & Breakfast Association is a collection of authentic Pennsylvania lodging treasures, which give a traveler a choice of unique and delightful place to stay. From Victorian homes and historic taverns to country manors and rural farmhouses, these B&Bs mirror the diverse times of life in Pennsylvania's beautiful rolling hills and quaint towns. Discriminating travelers find true PA warmth and charm at every member's lodging.  In addition, the Innkeepers can readily provide a wealth of knowledge about the area's historic attractions, antique shops, art galleries, and hiking and biking trails.

Look for hundreds of additional gas offers at www.BetterWayToStay.com.  Innkeepers across the U.S. and Canada have posted packages offering gas cards, credits toward your stay that can be put into the gas tank, incentives for carpooling and eco-friendly driving.  The Better Way To Stay and "B&Bs Kick Gas!" are programs offered by the Professional Association of Innkeepers International (www.innkeeping.org ).
