Businesses are enhancing travel experiences by offering tourists more value for their money, providing exclusive deals and added benefits that make every dollar go further.
The State of the American Traveler by Future Partners recently reported that tourists are increasingly inclined to take advantage of offers and measure in more detail the value they receive for their travel investments.
For this reason, at Discover Puerto Rico, we are refocusing a portion of our efforts on promoting those offers and special prices for accommodations, attractions, tours, or DMC's (destination management companies) services in Puerto Rico. We don't just want to integrate offers and specials into our marketing efforts but to showcase them on our consumer-facing website and thus inspire travel on the nearly 10.7 million users of the portal.
First, you must have a profile or "listing" with us. They are free. To open one, visit our special website for the industry.
The second step is to verify that your offer meets the basic requirements for this type of publication. For details, visit the profile guide.
The third step is to fill out the form so that your business's offers and special deals are considered for publication. Our team will contact you to complete the process, or will let you know which requirement you must comply with to be able to participate.
Here are some basic guidelines for your deals:
- Deals & special offers must specify purchase & redemption methods, validity period, and if the number of deals available is limited.
- Offers must contain a booking method, which could be a phone number, link to reservations, or email address.
- Deals must target only the leisure traveler.
- All offers are subject to availability at the time of booking.
- Deals and special offers must be redeemable in the same business that's promoting it, not in third parties.
- DPR will not promote games, raffles, or contests.
Some examples are:
• Get a free night when you buy a minimum of three or five nights of lodging.
• A percentage or dollar amount off when you buy a minimum of three or five nights in accommodations.
• Free services such as breakfast, early check-in, or late check-out.
• An amount or percentage off when you buy the ticket for the attraction or experience.
• An amount or percentage off with a minimum ticket purchase. For example, buy a ticket and the second one is half price.
Discover Puerto Rico reserves the right to remove, reject, or edit any offer published on the website, especially if it considers that the service provider or the business is not in compliance.
