Commencing Boxing Day and running for five days, Scoopon will feature one heavily discounted travel deal a day, as well as a number of jaw dropping local and international travel offers. All up shoppers will have 30 holiday destinations to choose from at prices, which executive general manager Jared Baker says, are the best in the market.

“We always make sure we have the best offers in the market by a mile. The premium package deals we are featuring will be the best available and also include flights.

“We encourage our customers to compare our offers to the major travel players and are so confident they'll be amazed at the value we offer a 14 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee on international offers.”

With industry analysts, Telsyte, confirming that Scoopon is the fastest growing group buying site in Australia, and travel deals contributing strongly to that growth, Baker says disruption has been a key to its success.

“Scoopon continues to be highly disruptive in the travel space with the ability to sell thousands of room nights for our hotel and tour partners in a matter of hours. This would take regular travel agency chains days or weeks to do. We want to do the same for airlines by filling seats on empty planes and providing revenue where there was none, while at the same time, delivering an incredible deal to our members,” he said.

With an aim to provide customers with a one-stop shop holiday planning destination, Baker says Scoopon seeks to not only deliver amazing value but also inspiration.

“We want to present our members with a world of inspiring travel options at a range of price points to excite their imaginations, all backed up with the security of dealing with a licensed travel agent and 14 day money back guarantee.”
