About Your Passport

Your individual passport is for your personal and sole use. As you sample each local destination, you’ll receive your visa stamp, proving the legend of your intrepid travel and support of cherished independent businesses unique to Victoria.

The adventures are a varied whirlwind of classic and creative businesses in our community. And yes, your visa stamp is good for multiple experiences.

Passports can be collected from the Guest Services Desk in the Oswego Hotel lobby. Passports are free for guests to participate.

How It Works

Each passport is personalized and will make a wonderful keepsake from your visit.

As you sample each destination on the curated pages, you will receive a visa stamp, proving the legend of your intrepid travel in support of businesses unique to Victoria.

Your adventure begins with having your passport issued and your goal is to obtain a visa stamp from each of the participating businesses to show proof of your journey.

Upon successfully completing the passport, you will be entered into a draw to WIN two nights stay at the Oswego Hotel.
