OffTo.com to launch customized gay getaways in October

According to a new announcement released this morning, www.OffTo.com will launch in October as the "first travel website devoted entirely to providing deals on customized LGBT getaways in the U.S. and abroad."

What make this website is unique is that OffTo combines the costs of LGBT-friendly accommodations with activities / diversions based on the interests of gay travelers. This "bundling" method enables OffTo getaways to sell for 40-50% less than the total retail value.

OffTo developed the following formula for creating diverse and "customized" LGBT getaways -

- They only select LGBT-friendly destinations in the U.S. and abroad.
- Getaways feature accommodations of all sizes and styles, including local B&Bs, mid-sized boutiques and corporate hotels
- Every package includes activities and diversions for a variety of interests, including outdoor excursions, city history tours, arts / culture, spa services, dining, LGBT events, live entertainment, nightlife and more
- OffTo ONLY partners with merchants (accommodations & activities) who have met standards of LGBT-friendliness, sensitivity and support

For more information, you can visit the pre-launch version of their website at www.OffTo.com. They're offering some great incentives right now, including 25% off your first getaway package for subscribing to their email list. I've been told that the exact launch date and the destination and details for the first 5 getaway packages will be released in the coming weeks. Take a look at their pre-launch site and Facebook page, and let me know what you think.
