Florida Vacation Auction™ Resolves To Save Travelers Money in 2008

Vacation Site Makes Changes to Improve Auction Availability FORT

FORT MYERS, Fla.  (Jan. 2, 2008) – The Florida Vacation Auction continues to set new standards for online travel auctions by providing consumers with two options to save on Florida vacations.  First, travelers can take advantage of the auctions, where opening bids start at 80 percent off retail price.  For those choosing not to participate in the auction process, the Buy Direct feature allows consumers to take advantage of offers with average savings of 20 to 30 percent.  In addition to great savings, FVA is enhancing the site in 2008 to make it easier for bidders to participate.

Visitors to www.FloridaVacationAuction.com will find vacation auctions from around Florida including beach resorts, theme park hotels, golf and spa retreats, bed & breakfast escapes, attraction tickets, even beach wedding ceremonies.   There are no costs to participate in an auction and no hidden fees or surcharges.  The winning bid is the final price -- period.

"We are always trying to make FloridaVacationAuction.com even better and for the new year we are responding to our members’ wishes," explained Sal Dickinson, president of the Florida Vacation Auction.   "We will be changing our auction windows to end on Sunday evenings instead of midnight on Saturday."

The auctions will continue to run for a one week period, but will now begin at 10 p.m. on Sunday and conclude at 10 p.m. the following Sunday.

For those who choose not to participate in the auction process, the site’s Buy Direct feature always allows consumers to take advantage of special offers from Florida Vacation Auction’s travel advertisers.  With a single click on Buy Direct, users go to the provider’s Web site where savings of 20 to 30 percent are available.

The site is the exclusive vacation auction partner of VISIT FLORIDA, the state’s official source for travel planning.  As a result of this partnership, vacation planners can bid with the knowledge and confidence that Florida Vacation Auction suppliers are recognizable and well established names and brands.

Planning a Sunshine State escape is now as easy as Bid, Win, Enjoy!   For more information about Florida Travel Auction or to plan a Sunshine State escape, visit www.floridavacationauction.com on the World Wide Web.
