Treasure Coast tourism offices launch 'Locals Only' discounts for residents

Courtney, host of the 2 MC podcast and a county communications staffer, encouraged listeners to "check out our locals only campaign," saying Saint Lucie, Discover Martin and Visit Indian River County have joined to offer exclusive deals for residents of the Treasure Coast.

The hosts said the collaboration provides cost savings for local attractions, hotels, tours and activities and is intended to benefit residents by offering discounts not available to non-residents. "This is for local attractions, hotels, tours, other activities — cost savings along the Treasure Coast," Courtney said.

The podcast presented the campaign as a regional partnership among the three tourism offices; it did not provide details on eligibility verification, participating businesses or the duration of the program. No funding sources or formal public approvals were cited on the show.

Residents interested in deals were told to consult the partners' websites for specifics; the hosts did not list an enrollment process or a deadline on air.
