ORLANDO, Fla. | Service providers across key U.S. and international cities are now invited to join ClipaTrip.com, a new online venture from Travel Holdings, Inc., launching in quarter three of this year. The opportunity gives participating vendors access to millions of travelers online, cost-free and with no obligation for the first six months. Currently in its final stages of development, ClipaTrip.com is a new retail travel website that will feature destination coupons in a never-before-seen travel and entertainment concept targeted to the end consumer. Vendors presently slated to participate include Wet ‘n Wild, Planet Hollywood Universal Studios and Gray Line.
“Consumers will have the ability to print or email coupons from our suppliers in top destinations across North America and the soon the world,” explains Jason Soss, Executive Vice President of Global Business Development for Travel Holdings, the largest inbound tour operator in North America, and one of the fastest growing worldwide. “Restaurants, attractions, theme parks, tours, transportation, clubs, bars, museums, and more can provide their own tailored discounts and added values.”
In addition to its own dedicated website, the venture will also provide coupons to consumers, tour operators, and travel agents through Travel Holdings’ long-standing subsidiaries, including global wholesale travel distribution company, Tourico Holidays, Inc., and retail web site LastMinuteTravel.com. Marketing available to service providers through all of these sites can include:
- Web banners
- Ranking options
- 800 characters of free text
- No limit or cost associated with consumer printouts and emails of coupons
- Online access to repeatedly edit text, images, and coupon value 24 hours a day, seven days a week
“The goal for this new service is not only to provide consumers with additional vacation values, but also to push more business to the booking engines of our many other e-commerce web sites,” states Soss. “Partners will essentially be provided free advertising, and they will control the entire message through a secure content management system.”
Service providers seeking further information can contact Matthew Whipple, Global Sales Manager for the program, at (407) 667-8700, ext. 7442, or via email at mwhipple@travelholdings.com.
