TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Travelzest plc (LSE:TVZ):
itravel2000, a leading Canadian online travel retailer, launched a winter sale today for Canadians to escape the winter freeze and avail sun vacations at great rates. Termed as “Time to Escape”, the sale features vacation deals with discounts of up to 70 percent to select sun destinations.
The Company said multiple factors such as the late onset of cold weather and excessive inventory played a role in driving the prices of sun vacations low this year that are featured on the sale. The other prime reason cited for the availability of low-priced vacations is that many families opted to travel with kids in the first week of January, and most trips for the second, third and fourth week of January remained unbooked. The Company also commented that many hotel rooms were available at cheaper rates in the month of January compared to the room pricings in December, which are featured on the sale.
itravel2000 has announced extended call centre hours on New Year’s Day after taking into account the increased booking calls during its Boxing Week Sale, which ran from December 23-31, 2011. Consumers looking to book their trips are advised to call at 1.866.WOW.DEAL.
