The Arizona Office of Tourism launched a digital Route 66 Passport program during the Labor Day weekend where participants can win prizes.
The Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona is a partner in the free program
It requires no downloads of apps, and it includes a free digital map. The pass can be saved onto a smartphone’s home screen for easy, one-tap access.
Users will need their phone’s geolocation services turned on to check in at each site
The state tourism office wrote:
In Arizona remains the longest stretch of the original Route 66 in the U.S., where you’ll find a wigwam-shaped motel, a petrified forest, kitschy shops, a street corner dedicated to an Eagles song, and so much more. Now, it’s your turn to visit these and other unique landmarks with the Route 66 Check-in Challenge Passport and interactive map.
As you visit each location, be sure to check in and be automatically entered to win cool prizes from the Arizona Office of Tourism and the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona. Every check-in counts as an entry, so the more places you explore the better your opportunity to win:
4 Check-ins = A Route 66 Sticker Pack
7 Check-ins = A Retro Route 66 MagnetWhile you’re exploring Route 66, be sure to share or upload your photos using #RockTheRouteAZ and we may float a Random Act of Sunshine into your DMs.
Winners of prizes will be notified via the passport app.
