As posted on Travel.USAToday.com, Orbitz wants your business to Florida.
"Responding to concerns over whether booking a beach vacation in Florida is a good idea in the time of the BP Gulf oil spill that threatens to wreak havoc this summer, Orbitz is offering full refunds on hotel stays.
"Here's the deal: an 'Open Beach Guarantee' for those who make a hotel booking (not an air/hotel package) at a participating Florida property via Orbitz for travel between now and July 31.
"If a government agency closes a beach within 20 miles of the property or declares it dangerous, travelers get a full hotel refund. Orbitz said in a press release that it is hoping to extend the guarantee to other Gulf Coast beach destinations. View terms of the Open Beach promo here on the Orbitz website. The list of participating properties includes many in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Daytona Beach and other areas that so far have not been linked to the spill.
"Folk in Florida tourist towns are biting their nails during a watch-and-wait situation and trying to spread the word that there's more to do in their areas than lie on the sand or swim in the ocean."
No excuses - come on down and let's talk about real estate bargains in Daytona Beach.
