NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With the most
romantic day of the year upon us, Booking.com knows one thing for
sure - America's love for travel hasn't ended. In the spirit of
sharing this love, the global travel leader is issuing love letters
to destinations across the U.S. that have been hard hit by the
pandemic, and inviting Americans to write their own inspiring love
letters to their favorite cities, reminding them that the love is
still strong, even if not as many people can travel to them right
now. Booking.com will bring to life its very own love letter in
iconic New York City - with all
its resilience through the tough times of the pandemic - by
offering a unique overnight stay in the Bank of America Winter
Village at Bryant Park, with experiences and amenities reflecting
what Booking loves about the Big Apple this Valentine's Day.
To kickoff 'Love Letters To America,' Booking.com has called
upon some familiar faces to help pen letters to their favorite
American cities to show them some love when they need it most.
Through each letter, Booking.com hopes to spotlight and honor the
cities and their local communities, businesses, and entrepreneurs
that have been impacted by fewer traveling visitors - from
restaurants, retail stores, attractions, the arts and more - and
remind Americans why we love all the diverse destinations across
this nation. Americans can show their favorite destinations some
love by posting their very own digital love letter on social media
using #LoveLettersToAmerica.
Booking.com's own love letter to New
York City, a celebration of all the wonders Gotham has
ingrained in its identity, will be brought to life by offering a
unique overnight experience in the Bank of America Winter Village
at Bryant Park that captures what Americans and Booking.com love
about New York City. The stay will
include custom-designed accommodations in the park's Polar Lounge,
and a safety-first itinerary including: hot chocolate and other
treats in an igloo, midnight ice skating, gift card for shopping at
the Bank of America Winter Village Shops and dinner via room
service courtesy of the Bryant Park Grill. Two overnight stays will
be offered on February 13 and 14 for
$14.21 and can be booked exclusively
on Booking.com starting on February 12,
2020 at 2:00PM EST.
Booking.com believes in The Big Apple and all the countless
businesses that are supported by travel: restaurants, hotels,
theatre, entertainment, retail, arts and museums, comedy clubs and
more. New York is just one example
of the positive impact the travel industry has on cities. 'Love
Letters To America' aims to remind Americans of all the beauty,
culture and diversity across the country, and how when the world
emerges and travel is back, local communities and industries will
be revived.
"As we begin a new era in 2021 and look toward a more hopeful
future together, Booking.com invites Americans to show some love
for the cities that need it, and reminds Americans that travel can
help uplift and impact the places that are so special to us," says
Arjan Dijk, Senior Vice President
and Chief Marketing Officer at Booking.com. "Love Letters To
America spotlights cities across the country that we've all been
dreaming of reuniting with, giving everyone the opportunity to
profess their love this Valentine's Day."
