ONLINE discount voucher seller Groupon and travel booking website Expedia have joined forces to form Groupon Getaways with Expedia.
The partnership will first offer discounted deals from the 135,000 hotels on Expedia’s hotel database using the Groupon model, where consumers have a limited time frame to make their purchase.
Groupon Getaways with Expedia will then move on to offer package deals for airline tickets, car rentals, cruises and destination activities.
The two companies are intending to launch the new offering in the US and Canada later this month, with plans to expand globally in the future.
