(NC)-Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions on ways to get the most out of summer travel, courtesy of Melanie Drouin, mother of two and national sales manager at Days Inns - Canada:
Q: Picking the right hotel is a must. What's the best way to decide?
A: Get rewarded. Check with the hotel to see if they offer a loyalty rewards program such as the new Wyndham Rewards, designed with the traveller in mind. Look for a participating partner, such as Days Inn hotels and earn valuable points during your stay that can be redeemed for hundreds of great rewards like gift cards for shopping, restaurants and entertainment.
Q: Is there a trick to getting the best travel value?
A: Use the Internet to gather information and do your research ahead of time. Make your hotel reservations online at the hotel specific site in order to get the guaranteed best available rate offered by many hotel companies.
Q: Our family vacation is something the kids anticipate all year long. Any tips to ensure they get the most out of the summer getaway?
A: Definitely look for family friendly hotels like Days Inn that offer fun giveaways. This summer 2008, register for the Play Together, Stay Together promotion. Not only will you earn points during your stay, but your family can enter online for a chance at a free vacation and instant-win prizes.
With a little advanced planning, an enjoyable family vacation doesn't have to break the bank. Simply look for rewards on the road and take advantage of promotions all summer long.
