After a successful pilot, the expanded Groupon Getaways marketplace is now available to anyone in the United States and Canada via the Groupon mobile app and the Web. All hotels are chosen by the Getaways team based on price, star rating and location. In addition, most hotels in the Getaways marketplace have a booking calendar, which eliminates the need for vouchers and lets consumers select and confirm the exact dates they want to travel based on price and room availability.

“Searching for a hotel can be a very time-consuming process, with most travel sites showing hundreds of listings for each destination. We’re providing travelers with only the best options at the best prices, so they have no reason to go anywhere other than Groupon,” said Simon Goodall, VP and GM of Groupon Getaways. “By expanding our selection, we’re giving travelers literally tens of thousands of reasons to check Groupon first.”

“Searching for a hotel on Groupon is also ideal for mobile, which is becoming one of the most popular ways for consumers to book travel,” said Goodall. “When paired with Groupon’s outstanding mobile experience, travelers can now book the perfect trip and get the best deals nearby – all at the same time.”

The expanded Groupon Getaways marketplace is initially available to Groupon subscribers in the United States and Canada, with plans to launch globally later in 2014. Popular destinations in the marketplace include: New York, Paris, Cancun, Orlando, Las Vegas, San Diego and Chicago.
