Expedia unlocks new path to save travellers time and money through the Add-On Advantage TORONTO, June 20, 2018 /CNW/ -- Today Expedia ® announced the launch of the Add-On Advantage, the newest way for travellers to save time and money on travel. A new study1 commissioned by Expedia found that, for the majority of Canadians, the most time-consuming part of planning a trip is finding the best price on transport and accommodations (75%). The Expedia Add-On Advantage aims to give that time back to travellers by providing access to hotel discounts up to 50 per cent off. Travellers simply book a flight, car or package on Expedia.ca and return any time before the trip starts to book a discounted hotel.
According to survey results, an overwhelming number of Canadians (80%) feel that getting a great deal was of high importance for each and every holiday they booked, and are twice as likely to spend time researching travel (86%) each month than planning ahead for retirement (45%). Expedia wants to make finding a deal and peace of mind easier. Aaron Price, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing at Brand Expedia, comments: "Packages are still a great way to save, but we recognize it isn't always the easiest or most convenient way for travellers to book. A recent study2 shows more than 40 per cent of Canadians prefer to book their flight first. The launch of the Add-On Advantage is yet another example of how we are listening to our travellers and helping to bring their next trip within reach. No longer will they need to visit multiple sites when they know they're getting guaranteed access to discounts on accommodation simply from booking a flight, car or package. Better yet, it takes away the pressure of planning and paying for everything up front." How to save with the Add-On Advantage:
Results of the study clearly showed that Canadians are, above all, major planners and deal seekers when it comes to travel3:
