When the internet began, oh so many years ago, the big move was for the innovative entrepreneurs to create web sites that consolidated “inventory” as it were under one roof and try and sell for travel segments like hotels and airlines. The trend is still here, but it appears that for many suppliers they are saving the best deals for their own web sites.

As professionals in the travel market have become more comfortable utilizing the internet for business and going as far as hiring in-house employees to manage day to day operations of internet functions. The result, the desire by carriers to drive more people to their own websites in an effort to forge and build brand loyalty. The tool of choice in this war is the use of promotion and/or discount codes

Say you’re looking to take a Williamsburg Vacation or find a Las Vegas Vacation Package, that ReserveVacations.com offers. In this instance these packages do not provide transportation to the destination. So utilizing the so called promo codes makes the discounts on these vacations all the better. Go to, say JetBlues web site and you’ll find 10% off regular rate specials and discounts all by using the promo code method.

In an effort to make the vacation packages appear to be more enticing Reserve Vacations has figured out that this is a great way to make the already discounts on vacation packages they have better.

As we stated a few posts ago, the continuing decline in the economy has many businesses running for cover. The smart ones, however, are finding ways to survive and thrive. The online travel business is a beacon to this darkness that has befallen the economy as of late. 

The first in line of the “big boys” showing great discount vacations is Travelocity. There set of deals actually came to my attention during a television commercial. As they are known, the Gnome that has become their corporate mascot was put in a commercial where the premise was that times are tough and cost cutting is essential. Pictures of destinations were torn from a brick wall as opposed to live video showing the scale back that Travelocity was taking. The important thing from the commercial was their innovative 50% off vacation program. Certain restrictions apply but look at their deals they are pretty enticing. Just refer to the silver lining sale. 

Second, are the continuing hot deals coming from Reserve Vacations. Some of the newest vacation packages that have appeared on the site are a Myrtle Beach Golfer’s Dream Package for $199, the Orlando Unreal Deal Vacation Package which is 3 Days and 2 Nights for $239 and a Cancun Vacation Package which is called the Cancun Fun in the Sun Package which offers four distinctive vacation packages where accommodations at the Laguna Suites and Golf Resort Cancun are provided.

Branson Missouri is well known for it’s entertainment. The Branson area boast over 55 theaters and show concert halls. ReserveVacations.com has a great Branson Vacation Package that offers some huge bang for your buck if a vacation with entertainment is on your mind.

Called the Branson Grand Weekend Getaway, you get 3 Days and 2 Nights that include a stay at the Thousand Hills Golf Resort Branson (which includes full use of all property amenities), plus two tickets to the famed Dixie Stampede Show and two tickets to Silver Dollar City. What’s more, this package comes to you all for $429.

The rates offered are equal, and the entire process to book is cut in half.
