FAMILY-FRIENDLY SITE NAVIGATION

FamilyGetaway.com has gone to great lengths to design a site that is practical for planning family vacations. Families can find inspiration for their next “dream” vacation and easily discover the best vacation deals on family resorts. Site navigation features include:

• Search by family vacation destinations

• Search by personal interest (i.e., hotels with kid only pools, active/adventure, ski/snow)

• Search by availability of onsite Kids Clubs

• Search by children’s ages

• Search by “star” ratings

• Search by type of family vacation (i.e., beach, all-inclusive, or cruise)

• A “Kid Approved” box on the homepage with links to property suggestions based on age-appropriate activities across all destinations (i.e., properties with kids clubs or near children’s museums and zoos, for toddlers, or close to theme parks for families with school age children).

TWO CONVENIENT PURCHASE OPTIONS

Aside from numerous search options, FamilyGetaway.com extends family travelers further flexibility by offering two purchasing options. Taking a cue from its success with LuxuryLink.com, the auction format allows flexible travelers to submit bids on the packages of their choice. Auction winners secure the best values available on the website. The Buy Now method is especially useful for travelers that must travel on specified dates but still want to reap the benefits of the value available through FamilyGetaway.com.
