New, Innovative Web Site Allows Consumers to Book Vacations at Affordable Prices
Consumers have a new place to find reasonably priced hotel rooms, vacation packages and attraction tickets in the hottest vacation destinations across the United States - SmarterVacations.com from Wyndham Vacation Ownership. This interactive Web site allows prospective Wyndham owners to purchase special discounted travel products through an online booking engine or a call center representative making it easier to visit their favorite vacation spots.
“With SmarterVacations.com, we help consumers find great travel deals to popular vacation destinations, including top locations like Orlando and Las Vegas as well as “drive-to” destinations such as Williamsburg, VA and Branson, MO” said Bryant Raper, executive vice president and Chief Marketing Officer, Wyndham Vacation Ownership. “The site offers us a chance to not only provide outstanding discounts, but also to introduce our Wyndham Vacation Resorts brand to prospective owners.”
SmarterVacations.com offers multiple travel products including mini-vacations and discounts on tickets to area attractions.
