Celebrating the Return to Travel with a Global Sales Event
Featuring Deals up to 40% off, Inspirational Getaways Curated by
Influencers and Special Benefits for Rewards Members
TORONTO, June 2, 2021 /CNW/ -- With the world
beginning to open back up and travellers eager for the chance to
roam freely again, Expedia® today announces its first-ever Expedia
Travel Week, the online travel brand's biggest sale of the year.
Running from June 8-12 on the Expedia
Mobile App and Expedia.ca, Expedia Travel Week will feature
savings on more than 30,000 hotels around the world, 800+
activities, offers from cruise lines and more, to help
vacation-deprived travellers plan their next well-deserved trip for
future travel.
Travellers will find up to 40% savings on hotels in popular
destinations for not only the upcoming summer travel season;
bookings can be made for travel until the end of January 2022 to accommodate travellers that are
planning for the future. In addition to the extensive deals,
Expedia has partnered with top-tier travel and lifestyle
influencers to curate custom itineraries, released each day of the
sale with limited 20%-off coupons.
EXPEDIA TRAVEL WEEK DEALS UP TO 40% OFF
To help travellers get more out of their next trip, Expedia is
launching five days of deals to some of the most dream-worthy
destinations. Whether it's a relaxing summer trip to explore the
great outdoors, a staycation nearby, or dreams of an international
bucket list vacation for later in the year, there's something for
every kind of traveller.
Looking at search data on Expedia.ca1 for the
rest of the year, the top domestic spots showing interest include:
Banff, Whistler, Canmore, Tobermory, Niagara
Falls, Toronto,
Vancouver, Mont Tremblant, Jasper and Kelowna. This demonstrates Canadians are
interested in destinations with closer proximity to the outdoors;
however, there is also some interest for city escapes as
restrictions lift over the coming months.
All Expedia Travel Week hotel deals are for travel dates
June 8, 2021 – Jan 31, 2022, and most include flexible
cancellation policies, making it the perfect time to lock in travel
plans to look forward to for the rest of the year and into
January 2022.
Plus, find exclusive cruise offers such as complimentary
on-board credits, upgrades and discounts from AMA Waterways,
Carnival and Norwegian for select sailings through 2023.*
Shiv Singh, Senior Vice President and General Manager,
Expedia Brand says: "The demand the travel industry is
seeing for the summer and beyond demonstrates just how eager
travellers are to get back out there, and the perfect opportunity
for us to show it matters who you travel with. Expedia Travel Week
is truly our biggest sales event to date, with more deals, more
tools for inspiration and discovery and ultimately more value
delivered to our travellers. We've pulled out all the stops to make
this a celebration of travellers and the vacations we can't wait to
reclaim."

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR GETTING THE MOST OUT OF EXPEDIA TRAVEL
WEEK
Expedia wants travellers to have all the tools they need to make
travel plans they feel confident and excited about. Follow these
tips to get the most out of Expedia Travel Week and your next
trip:
- DOWNLOAD THE APP In addition to unlocking 5x the Rewards
points during Expedia Travel Week, Expedia's award-winning mobile
app also makes it easier to plan and keep track of travel plans,
with handy push notifications alerting travellers to itinerary
changes, easy messaging with your hotel, and a map feature to find
nearby things to do.
- BOOK FLEXIBLE RATES Most deals featured during Expedia
Travel Week have flexible cancellation policies. By choosing
refundable rates this allows travellers to snag a great deal or get
a trip on the books without worrying about plans needing to change.
Filter search results for "free cancellation" or "reserve now, pay
later" and select a refundable room type.
- UNLOCK DEEPER SAVINGS BY BUNDLING Just by booking
multiple items at the same time, such as adding a car rental,
activity or hotel to a flight purchase, travellers can save up to
hundreds of dollars on their trip.
- KEEP TABS ON THE LATEST TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS With
restrictions changing by the day or week, it can be tricky to stay
up to date on the latest COVID-related guidelines. Use the Expedia
Travel Advisor, which lets travellers type in their origin and
destination to see what travel advisories or COVID-19 restrictions
are in place.
