The Discover America Daily Getaways 2011 promotion began on April 11, offering exclusive savings and vacation packages only available at www.dailygetaways.com. Back by popular demand for its second consecutive year, this U.S. Travel Association promotion, sponsored by American Express, offers savings up to 60 percent on almost 30 leading travel destinations and brands and is intended to boost the U.S. travel industry.
Throughout this five-week online promotion, clients can find unprecedented deals on airfare, hotels, car rentals, theme park admissions and city attraction passes until May 13.
A sample of travel partners include Avis, Caesar’s Entertainment, CityPass, Busch Gardens, Fairmont Hotels, Hilton Hotels, Marriott Hotels, United Airlines, Universal, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and more.

“According to the latest U.S. Travel Association and Ypartnership TravelHorizons survey, 59 percent of U.S. adults plan to take a trip for leisure purposes between this February and July, up almost 5 percent over the same period in 2010,” said Roger Dow, U.S. Travel Association president and CEO. “The Discover America Daily Getaways promotion ensures [that] the U.S. travel industry benefits from this increase and provides great deals for consumers to stay and play within the U.S. this spring and summer.”
