Spectacular Savings on Hot Spot Travel

ur Thanksgiving may be over, but we Canadians should still be thankful that American Thanksgiving still offers some fabulous shopping bargains! In fact, their “Black Friday” (the day after American Thanksgiving) sales have now been eclipsed by the genius marketing called “Cyber Monday”. The travel industry has jumped aboard this online bandwagon big time with incredible deals that can only be booked online for 24 hours. This year, it falls on December the 1st! We should rejoice that so many tropical hot spot resorts are offering up to 50% off to guarantee an escape from the next polar vortex. Delightful deals can be found at most Divi Resorts, which are located in Barbados, St. Maarten, Bonaire, St, Croix and Aruba. And as an added bonus for families, children under 12 stay and eat free! AMResorts has five different brands of all-inclusive emporiums – Zoëtry, Secrets, Breathless, Dreams, and Now – participating in Cyber Monday, ranging from upscale adultonly to family-friendly fun in Cancun, Riviera Maya, Dominican Republic, Puerto Vallarta
