The passport is a collaborative effort between the Route 66 communities to provide a snapshot of what there is to see across the Route, and it couldn’t be more fun. Along the way you’ll collect passport stamps from the communities and attractions. If you collect 7 or more stamps you’ll receive a certificate of accomplishment ready to frame, and passport holders collecting 8 or more stamps will receive giveaway items from the Route 66 communities. If you collect all 10 stamps you will be entered into an annual grand prize drawing which will be held each June starting June 2011.
The traveler will redeem the passport at one of the Route 66 gateway communities (Kingman, Flagstaff, or Holbrook), or by mailing the redemption coupon to the Association. Before collecting their prize(s), the visitor will complete a short survey at the back of the passport. This survey will be removed from the passport when redeemed, and the passport will become a souvenir for the traveler. The Association will collect the surveys and provide the communities with a quarterly report.
ARIZONA RT 66 PASSPORT PROGRAM
50,000 passports will be printed the first year, beginning April 2010. The passports will be available at all welcome/visitor centers, at participating attractions, and businesses along Route 66. It is anticipated that the passports will also be distributed by the Arizona Office of Tourism in Phoenix, Lupton, and promoted in foreign countries such as Germany, Japan, and France. Point of sale materials will be provided to each distribution center.
Passports are available at welcome centers across the Route, by contacting the Association at 928-753-5001
