For 18 years, Free Tourist Book has been the coupon book Alabama Gulf Coast vacationers pick up at the grocery store, find in their rental, and keep in their bag all week.
Visitors get the book on arrival and use it to decide where to eat, play and shop. With the new Gulf Shores International Airport and six nonstop Allegiant routes, more of them are arriving every season.
In every Rouses checkout lane
Rouses Markets sponsors the book at each checkout lane in Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Daphne and Spanish Fort.
In the arrival packet
Over 40 vacation rental companies put the book in arrival packets, and cleaning services restock rooms after every turnover.
Pocket-size, full color
A compact booklet that fits in a purse, with brilliant 4-color ads designed to stop the eye and start the sale.
Results you can measure
Coupon redemptions give you a clear way to track your return. New geofencing campaigns run throughout the season.
Flexible payment
Interest-free payment plans, with custom packages built to fit your budget.
Print plus digital
Pair the book with a feature on FreeTouristBook.com, Google Ads and our digital coupon solution.
