Are Calgarians Romantic, or Just Cheap? Actually, We're Both!
Valentine's Day Poll Offers Advice on Best Discount Dates Across Canada
(firmenpresse) - CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/09/12 -- Ah Love. On no day is it more on display than Valentine's Day, a day synonymous with grand gestures and expensive gifts. But what of those love-struck students, starving artists, cash strapped Canadians or the simply frugal? Are they to be denied true love for lack of funds? Thankfully, no, according to the latest State of Air Travel Poll from , which sought to find the best economical Valentines' Day outing options across Canada.
FlightNetwork.com provided participants with suggestions of where to find the most fun for the fewest funds, but participants were also welcome to offer up their own suggestions.
For most, it was all about saving, snuggling, and skating. From free walks in the snow to home-cooked dinners, for Canadians, showing the love is all about the company over the cash. Walks through parks and skating on free outdoor rinks were the top suggestions for celebrating Valentine's Day on a budget.
Locally, Calgarians didn't skate the national trend, with 65.2% of respondents recommending a romantic free skate in Bowness Park as the best discount date. Sightseeing at the top of the Calgary Tower - at a cost of $16 per person - placed second in the poll with 12.6%.
Another 12.1% of respondents opted for skating as well, but were willing to part with $6 per person to do so at the Olympic Oval. A tour of the Calgary Zoo placed fourth with 6.3%. Only 3.9% chose to spend $20 per person to protest Valentine's Day at the Meet Market Anti-Valentine's Day Bash at Mile One Tavern.
"Our business is all about enabling our customers to get where they are going at the lowest price possible," said Naman Budhdeo, CEO of FlightNetwork.com. "With our Valentine's Day poll, we're hoping to ease some financial pain once again by offering Canadians free advice on great, local low cost and no cost romantic evenings."
