Black Friday is now an increasingly digital experience that has morphed into a weekend-long shopping period, culminating in Travel Tuesday and in some cases lasting even longer.
Companies selling travel don’t miss the opportunity to capitalize on the increased number of deal-seekers by slashing prices on some of their services.
For those looking to book a vacation holiday to a sunny destination, Expedia and its accommodation brands Hotels.com and VRBO are offering discounts of up to 50% on select hotel and short-term rental stays booked by Dec. 2.
Participating hotels include Nobu Miami Beach, The Drake Hotel in Toronto, and Marriott Vacation Club in Honolulu at select periods of the year.
