Groupon Partners with Expedia, Groupon Travel Goes Live
Groupon has partnered with travel giant Expedia to launch Groupon Getaways. With other deal sites like LivingSocial and TeamBuy entering the travel market, its no surprise that Groupon has followed suit. Travel deals on Groupon Getaways will likely be regional offers, not hyper local ones. According to TechCrunch’s internal source at Groupon, the new travel product could increase revenue by 40% once up and running full steam.
