Orbitz launches full-service Spanish travel website
Orbitz today announced the launch of Orbitz en Español, www.orbitz.com/es, the only full-service Spanish-language travel website targeting the U.S. market. Orbitz en Español brings the great deals and choices for hotel rooms, airline tickets, vacation packages, car rentals and travel activities available on Orbitz.com to Spanish-speaking travelers in the U.S. booking on computers and smartphones.
To celebrate the launch of the new site, Orbitz en Español launched with a Fall Sale offering up to 40 percent off hotel prices in top destinations for U.S. Hispanic travelers including New York, Miami, Cancun and Dominican Republic. Fall Sale deals are also available on Orbitz.com and via the mobile web.
