Travel Provider Offers Oil Spill Guarantee

(Dive Travel Business News - June 14, 2010) -- In an effort to overcome the skittishness of travelers unwilling to commit to a beach vacation in Florida due to looming the BP oil spill that threatens Florida beaches, Orbitz is offering full refunds on hotel stays at participating properties.

Travelers who make a hotel booking (not an air/hotel package) at a participating Florida hotel via Orbitz for travel now through July 31, will be covered under the Orbitz "Open Beach Guarantee". This guarantee provides for a full hotel refund if a government agency closes a beach within 20 miles of the property or declares it dangerous.

Orbitz said in a press release that it is hoping to extend the guarantee to other Gulf Coast beach destinations. View terms of the Open Beach promo here on the Orbitz website. The list of participating properties includes many in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Daytona Beach and other areas that so far have not been linked to the spill.
