Fox
World Travel today announced the consumer beta launch of VacationSuperSearch.com
(VSS), a comparison shopping website that compares
the flight and hotel vacation
packages from Apple Vacations, Funjet Vacations and American Express Vacations.
VacationSuperSearch.com is
the first travel search engine
to aggregate these vacation companies into a single display.
VacationSuperSearch.com
provides pricing and availability for more than 2,100 of the most popular hotels
and resorts in the world. Destinations include, but are far from limited to
Cancun, Punta Cana, Jamaica, Puerto Vallarta, London, San Francisco, Las Vegas,
New York, Colorado, Costa Rica and Florida. Packages from Apple Vacations, Funjet
Vacations and American Express Vacations can be booked directly on the site
or booked with a VSS agent toll-free at 1-888-SRCH-VSS
(772-4877). Unlike travel search engines such as Kayak and Sidestep, VacationSuperSearch.com
provides complete travel services in one location. You are able to search competing
packages side-by-side, view quality hotel information, find excursions and special
added bonuses, schedule roundtrip transfers to/from the airport and book your
entire vacation package in one convenient location, all with the experience
of one of the largest vacation travel agencies servicing all reservations.
"The real benefit to consumers is that they have the convenience of searching
the best vacation companies online in one place with experienced, knowledgeable
agents standing by ready to help. Our agents have an average tenure with us
of over 10 years and an average of 10.6 years in the industry. We've walked
the same beaches. We've shopped the same stores. We've eaten the same food.
Our customers won't be calling into a call center overseas. They'll be talking
to the best travel specialists in the industry right here in the United States,"
said Brian Hurley, Vice-President of Vacation Travel.
Search results on VacationSuperSearch.com
are delivered through an RIA (Rich Internet Application) allowing users to sort
and filter search results quickly to find the vacation that suits them best.
When users find a vacation option that interests them, they can add that search
result to an individual Vacation Notebook. VacationSuperSearch.com
will take all the pricing and relevant details regarding that trip option and
save it. Users can then add notes to each entry and share their notebook with
family and friends. Posting a Vacation Notebook to MySpace.com or Facebook.com
can be done with a single click of the mouse. Once a notebook entry has been
created, users can take advantage of "One-Click Pricing" which allows
a user to save valuable research time and check the current availability and
pricing for their preferred package.
VacationSuperSearch.com is
also debuting new localization features for delivering relevant vacation deals
from a preferred city. Consumers who choose to create a free account with VSS,
as well as those consumers who perform a vacation search, will find localized
deals from their preferred departure city.
"We will continue to add new vacation companies to our search results and
are in discussions with several at the moment. Consumers have learned over time
that there's tremendous value and safety in purchasing a vacation package from
established companies like Funjet Vacations, Apple Vacations and American Express
Vacations. Oftentimes the transfers are included up front along with exclusive
extras like free nights, resort credits and additional savings. For some destinations,
you'll even have the services of a representative at your resort in the event
that something goes wrong," said Chip Juedes, Director of Marketing.
