SARASOTA, Fla., Aug. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Visit Sarasota County (VSC) is excited to introduce a new promotional opportunity for consumers to save throughout Sarasota County. It's called "Sarasota Big Pass." From September 1-30, 2019, visitors and locals alike can take advantage of big savings from local hotels, attractions, restaurants, shops and more. The types of deals that businesses are offering include BOGO (buy-one-get-one), $5 off and 25% off. Currently there are almost 100 deals being offered from nearly 80 businesses.

"September is typically the slowest month of the year for local businesses, so VSC has been working closely with its partners to develop a consumer-centric program that benefits both the industry and customers," said Virginia Haley.
