US-based discount
travel site Hotwire.com is aggressively promoting European destinations with new
promotional packages.
Through November 2, 2005, Hotwire.com
will give away a trip for two to London or Paris each week. Travelers who search for European hotels on
Hotwire.com will be entered into a sweepstakes by merely requesting a quote for
a European hotel. The winners will be
chosen each week, and will receive a grand prize, five-night vacation (hotel
and air) for two people. No booking is
required to enter.
Hotwire.com also
recently added discounted hotel rates in Munich,
Milan, Florence, Venice, and Naples
to the growing list of popular European destinations where travelers can find
great deals on lodging.
"Now is a
great time to see Europe. Sandwiched before
and after the Thanksgiving and Christmas periods, October through early
December offers significant savings on lodging and airfare, and you can still
take advantage of great weather, particularly in Southern Europe," said
Barbara Messing, Vice President of Customer Experience at Hotwire.com.
"The cost of transatlantic flights drops substantially after September,
particularly when flying into major hub cities like London,
Paris, and Rome.
Plus we're seeing rates for 4-star hotels for around $100 per night," she
added.
