LONDON, Sept. 21, 2017
/PRNewswire/ -- Expedia® has launched Collections, a new resource
to help travellers find the best hotels for every experience.
Initially launching with six Collections; Beach, Relaxation,
Family Fun, Culture & History, Shopping and Snow, each list has
been curated and each hotel selected with Expedia's 'stamp' of
quality approval. Knowing that a source of anxiety for travellers
can be whether the travel experience will live up to expectation,
all hotels in each Collection must meet a set of rigorous
standards, and are determined using a combination of data sources
to reveal the best quality and best value hotels in spectacular
destinations. Travellers can browse accommodations by the type of
travel experience they desire and by destination, making finding a
great place to stay easier than ever.
"We know travellers spend an immense amount of time
researching accommodation, from reading reviews to checking
multiple sites for peace of mind on the price, location and
quality, we created 'Collections' to do all that work for you,"
says Dan Reed, Expedia's Vice
President of Merchandising. "When selecting the criteria for
these properties we wanted to ensure our customers could
confidently book from a 'Collection' type, knowing that that would
be the exact kind of holiday they would receive and the quality and
value would be excellent. These are all hotels which are backed by
our customer reviews, fit the type of holiday the customer is
looking for and are great value, helping travelers find the best
hotel for every experience."
Expedia's current Collections include:
- Beach: Grab a swimsuit and hit top beach spots, from Mallorca
to Phuket
- Relaxation: The best places to unwind, from spa getaways to
tranquil resorts
- Family Fun: Top family hotels for all-ages fun; awesome pools,
theme parks and more
- Culture & History: Featuring destinations like Venice, Italy and Washington, D.C., this Collection is perfect
for exploring top museums, historic sites, and restaurants
- Shopping: From Hong Kong to Milan, indulge in a shopper's paradise, from
local crafts to world-famous stores
- Snow: The best hotels and resorts for skiing, snowboarding, or
fantastic snowball fights
"These initial six 'Collections' are really just the tip of
the iceberg and we look forward to bringing more curated lists to
meet the needs of every traveler."
