LuxuryHolidayBargains.com.au Launches

(Sydney, Australia)

A new website has been launched to provide Australians with the best and latest travel deals, and LuxuryHolidayBargains.com.au is set to become the go-to platform in the “luxe-for-less” travel market.

LuxuryHolidayBargains.com.au brings together the best premium and luxury deals available to Australian travellers, from cruises and flights, to hotels, spas, resorts and more. It’s also a community of savvy travellers who want to travel in style without paying a hefty price tag, and enjoy more value for money.  

The website is updated daily with new deals showing genuine discounts or added value, and followers have the opportunity to rate deals and comment on them, and share their own deals. There is also a mobile phone friendly site so travel lovers can browse on the go.

“Everyone is looking for a bargain these days, whether they’re buying groceries, a car, shopping online or booking travel,” says co-founder Joanna Hall.

“As travel editors we have literally hundreds of great travel deals arriving in our inbox every week, so we came up with the idea of picking the best and then publishing them in one place, giving travellers the opportunity to browse, and ultimately save.” 

The website is not a travel agency or a booking platform, says co-founder Ben Hall.

“The deals are sourced directly from travel companies and resellers, and published on LuxuryHolidayBargains.com.au with information and expiry dates,” he explains. “When you click on a particular deal to find out more information, or to make a booking, you will be redirected to the website where the deal originates.”

The idea of enabling followers to rate and comment on deals, and to build a community of like-minded travellers, is also a key feature of LuxuryHolidayBargains.com.au. “We really want to engage our audience and encourage sharing,” says Ben Hall. “If you think a deal is great, you can give it the thumbs up, and if you don’t, you can give it the thumbs down.”

Travel companies and travel agencies are welcome to submit deals and offers for consideration to deals@luxuryholidaybargains.com.au. Ideally they should show a dollar saving amount, a percentage saving amount and/or added value freebies, also an expiry date for booking, and a suitable image where possible. Only premium or luxury travel deals will be considered - no budget or backpacker - however our categories include hotels, resorts, spas, cruising, dining experiences, tours, travel accessories, package deals, flights and more.

You can find LuxuryHolidayBargains.com.au on Facebook and Twitter.
