OCEAN CITY – A new Winter Wellness promotion is encouraging locals and visitors alike to rest, relax and rejuvenate by the sea.
Throughout the months of January and February, local hotels, fitness studios and organizations will offer packages and activities as part of a resort-wide Winter Wellness promotion.
Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association (OCHMRA) Executive Director Susan Jones said the goal of the Winter Wellness promotion is to encourage locals and visitors to visit the beach and support the hospitality industry.
“If someone needs to change their view and get out of their house, there are plenty of places in our own backyard to see and experience …,” she said. “It also gives an opportunity to hotels that are really struggling.”
