A Rebel With A Cause Launches Offering One Stop, Non-Stop No-Nonsense Travel Deals

A leading consortium of Australian, Canadian and US Internet companies, headed by TopTravelSites.com, a ten-year veteran and leader in Internet travel are launching LastMinuteDirect.net (LMD), which will shake up how consumers buy travel products by helping travelers source genuine 11th hour travel availability, bargains and cancellations.

This new, unique website is dedicated to helping travelers locate last minute bargains, deals and offers on travel products and services that are highly perishable. LastMinuteDirect.net enables travel suppliers and wholesalers to offer inventory to travel consumers that would otherwise remain unsold.

Sean Swain, Director of Marketing for LastMinuteDirect.net said, “This is a simple, cost-effective distribution channel for hotels, tour operators, cruise lines, low-cost airlines not working with the major booking engines and other travel services to reach consumers with their perishable products.”

With no tacked on charges or hidden costs, Last Minute Direct intends to breathe fresh air into discounted last minute travel. Swain notes “To get on our site, it’s an honest flat $100USD for a link from LMD to your own website. Of course, some travelers may purchase products from your site that are not reduced inventory. Either way, you get the visitor and the sale, not LastMinuteDirect.net – we sell traffic, not travel.”

Sean Swain points out “ If your beds are empty, fill them. It’s that straightforward. For $100USD you’d be seriously challenged to find a better offer to reach serious last-minute travelers or to put it bluntly, unload your inventory at prices you might not be keen to advertise.”

Consumers visiting LastMinuteDirect.net can choose a region or product category to source the very latest specials, offers, deals and clearance rates. User friendly and as straightforward to travelers as it is to the industry, LMD will launch a major consumer branding campaign first quarter 2005 to drive traffic and raise awareness of the website and travel deals available. “Direct actually means direct” said Sean Swain, “consumers can scout our site for the best of the best last minute offers and then buy directly from the source. We’re cutting out the fatty layers of the industry that stand in between travelers and a really great deal.”

TopTravelSites.com which is spearheading LastMinuteDirect.net is home base for travel author Nomad who publishes The Travel Insider, a consumer subscriber e-newsletter dedicated to insider tips, short cuts and back-door access to a range of unusual, off-the-beaten path travel. While Nomad’s actual name is not published to preserve anonymity when on the road reviewing travel products, Nomad’s focus is on taking the road less traveled, for less. LastMinuteDirect.net  will enjoy additional high volume traffic with the added value of Nomad’s considerable subscription database and a major global consumer promotion, Where In The World Is Nomad that will launch first quarter 2005. Several levels of sponsorship opportunities are still available for this unique promotion.
