The BUZZ About a New Travel Website in Minnesota

Finding a great travel bargain can be confusing and time-consuming. For this reason, two brothers from Minnesota have created travelhunters.com. The goal of Travel Hunters is to become the most useful bargain travel community on the planet.

Duluth, MN - April 14, 2003 - It was late July of 2002, a time when most people were starting to think about the last remaining days of summer. For two brothers from Minnesota, it was the start of a new adventure - something that was entirely unplanned. Dean and Lee Packingham were fortunate to share the same hobby - finding travel deals on the Internet. Every time they got together, they would exchange the latest travel news, and most importantly, the latest bargains. This passion for travel led family and friends to call or email the brothers whenever they wanted to go on a vacation. They knew that Dean and Lee would not stop until they found the best deals.

By chance, one of the brothers brought up the possibility of creating a website to satisfy their hobby. Dean started looking for a website name that was available, and found Travelhunters.com. While the site was under construction, they put a small statement on the website, along with an email address where the brothers could be reached. Hundreds of visitors came to the site in the first couple months, and tens of thousands of people have flocked to the website since then. The site has been visited by nearly every country in the world, and the newsletter also goes to people all over the planet. The website was officially launched in late March.

Most visitors to Travel Hunters are surprised by one thing - the lack of obtrusive advertising, especially pop-up ads. The brothers feel very strongly that Travel Hunters should be a safe place for people trying to find travel bargains, and they are not willing to compromise the principles of their hobby. What you will find on the site are lots of "Hot Deals", helpful articles, 100% objective advice, and links to the best bargain travel websites on the planet. Lee maintains the cruise portion of the website, and Dean maintains the general travel section of Travel Hunters.

One of the most popular portions of the website has been the Travel Hunters message boards. If you need help finding a travel deal, you can just post your request on the message board, and the dedicated users of the boards will try to help as much as possible. Another fun feature on the message boards is the "Rate - A - Pool" section, a place where users post reviews of hotel pools across the country. If you have come across a cold hotel swimming pool, you can report it here. On the other hand, if there is a pool you especially liked, you can also let others know here.

If you love to find a good travel bargain, then Travelhunters.com is the place for you! Be sure to let the brothers know what you think about the site, as your input will help to shape Travel Hunters into the most useful bargain travel website on the planet.
