Health experts agree that to stay safe this winter, it’s best for everyone to stay home for the holidays. While that’s certainly a bummer, online travel site Hotwire is offering the mother of all consolation prizes. It’s giving away a $25,000 luxury “IOU” trip for the whole family, to get you excited about traveling again in the future.
The giveaway was inspired by a recent Hotwire survey that found over 80 percent of Americans are altering or canceling their holiday travel plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting travel restrictions. Even more interestingly, 28 percent said they’re delaying telling their family about their canceled plans, putting off the uncomfortable phone call until at least mid-December.
