AAA introduces online travel agency for 88% of US leisure travelers
AAA unveiled a new and expanded online travel agency designed to meet the specific needs of drive travelers, who account for 88% of all US leisure travel, according to AAA.
The Web site also provides exclusive services and information for travelers planning worldwide journeys by air, sea, and land.
‘
We are taking the benefits that have been available for years to air travelers and bringing them to motorists in new and more sophisticated ways that will take online travel planning in a new direction,” said AAA President and CEO Robert L. Darbelnet.
AAA claims that motorists will find the new AAA.com preferable to other travel Web sites whether they need quick maps and local driving directions or complete planning tools and destination information for cross-country road trips and fly/drive vacations.
Last month, AAA was the first to enhance its online travel planning tool, the TripTik(R) travel planner, with location and fuel pricing information for more than 100,000 US gas stations.
One feature that distinguishes the AAA.com TripTik travel planner from all other online trip planners is direct access to AAA’s proprietary travel information, according to AAA.
While planning a trip, driving en route, or exploring a destination, travelers can use the TripTik travel planner to find travel ideas and information by location.
Area descriptions provide visitor details, and information such as sightseeing options to break up the drive, dining ideas for places passed through at meal times, and quality hotels for overnight stays.
