US travel companies team up for first time to offer unique trips
Nearly 50 of America’s top destinations and travel brands have created a new website to provide what they call “once-in-a-lifetime experiences at great values,” including these:
• VIP tickets to the Country Music Awards.
• A police escort to the Indianapolis 500 motor race.
• A private jet to Las Vegas.
• Meetings with Chicago celebrity chefs Rick Bayless and Grant Achatz.
• Riding a Mardi Gras float in New Orleans.
Discover America Daily Getaways, a month-long promotion of the US Travel Association sponsored by American Express, runs through June 4.
“Aimed at stimulating travel in time for summer, it offers incredible deals of up to 50 percent off product from leading travel companies and memorable experiences from popular destinations,” the site says.
Any US resident 18 or older with a major credit card may purchase from an inventory of specially priced travel products offered by 25 leading travel companies related to hotels, airlines, rental cars, attractions and theme parks, dining and shopping, among others.
Additionally, any American Express® Cardmembers have the opportunity to participate in a daily Cardmember-only auction. Cardmembers can bid on travel packages arranged by two dozen cities.
“Discover America Daily Getaways is a win-win for consumers and the industry,” said Roger Dow, president and CEO of the US. Travel Association. He added:
“With the challenges everyone has faced, the travel industry is coming together for the first time ever to provide a unique, limited-time opportunity for Americans to buy products and take a trip they may not have considered the past couple years.”
