LivingSocial Launches Deal Site for Travel: LivingSocial Escapes

LivingSocial, the famous deal site that offers discounts up to 70% off experiences in major U.S. cities is now getting into the travel business. LivingSocial now has handpicked and memorable travel packages at discount prices.

LivingSocial Escapes will deliver one-of-a-kind day trips, packaged ‘nearcations,’ quick escapes that don’t require air-travel, and weekend excursions they might not typically pursue. Upon launch last week LivingSocial Escapes had 8 different vacation packages available.

LivingSocial in October acquired local adventure company Urban Escapes. This move was the first step towards providing its LivingSocial subscribers a chance to experience travel adventures, produced by a team of on-the-ground experts.

“LivingSocial is not just about deals, it’s about creating experiences and memories at a value. People really cherish their vacations – whether it’s an overnight trip to a local Bed & Breakfast or a tropical beach getaway – traveling is special, and LivingSocial Escapes is the best place to find one-of-a-kind travel packages to places you love, have been dying to try, or ones that will surprise you,” said Tim O’Shaughnessy, CEO and Co-founder of LivingSocial Escapes.
