Hotels.com®, the world’s leading hotel booking website, has announced the launch of a new Spanish website for the U.S. Hispanic market, in addition to 85 worldwide sites. With more than 150,000 hotels on sale, the new website features everyday travel deals and special promotions, such as a Caribbean Sale, tailored to the Hispanic market in the U.S.
The Hispanic population in the U.S. continues to grow, as does the Hispanic travel market. According to market research company Mandala Research, the Hispanic population increased by 15.2 million between 2000 and 2010, and the global economic impact of U.S. Hispanic leisure travelers is more than $56 billion annually.
“At Hotels.com, we are committed to our customers, which is why we are expanding our award winning services to cater to the growing Hispanic market,” said Victor Owens, vice president and general manager, Hotels.com North America. “Hotels.com is the only Online Travel Agent to have a Spanish language site for Hispanics living in the U.S. We want all our customers to experience the same great Hotels.com they love in the language they prefer.”
Besides the launch of the new website, Hotels.com also launched a television advertising campaign in Spanish for the U.S. market. The ad, called ‘Road Trips,’ features Hotels.com concierge SMART helping a family find their perfect place and includes the 30% off Summer Sale. The ad began airing June 4th on most major Hispanic networks including Univision, Telemundo, and Galavision.
The Hotels.com Hispanic site enjoys access to more than two million verified, user-generated hotel reviews as well as some of the best room rates in the industry. U.S. Spanish users can book online, via mobile web or by calling one of the dedicated 24/7 customer service centers.
