EmployeeandMemberDiscounts.com Offers Travel Platform Through Access Development

DENVER, Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- EmployeeandMemberDiscounts.com, the premier employee and discount loyalty brand of Next Eleven, LLC, is partnering with Access Development in order to offer members private label travel options.

The partnership will allow EmployeeandMemberDiscounts.com to offer even more benefits to its members. In return, Access Development will be able to reach a larger audience whose passion for savings is well established.

"Travel is one of the most purchased and requested offers by the members of EmployeeandMemberDiscounts.com." said Ryan Grier, CEO at Next Eleven. "By partnering with Access Development, we will provide even more savings on travel and activities for our members with an integrated, easy-to-use platform."

According to statistics, spending on travel and tourism is the second most popular expense and 36 percent rated it as an important spending priority. In 2017, $1,036 billion was spent on travel and almost 3 percent of the nation's GDP is attributed to travel and tourism. Over $718 billion was spent in leisure travel in 2017 with $101 billion spent on summer vacations alone. People ages 18 to 34 spent, on average, $1,373 while those over the age of 55 spend $1,865 on vacations. While traveling, American's spend 26 percent on food, 20 percent on public transportation, 20 percent toward lodging, 17 percent toward auto expenses, 10 percent toward recreation and 7 percent in retail outlets.

"Between vacations, holidays, experiencing new cultures/food, reunions or even emergencies, travel is frequently among the largest line-item in the annual expenses of many households," Kelly Passey, President of Access Development, said. "That's why travel benefits from Access are valued so highly by employers and managers of membership groups. A single booking can lead to hundreds, even thousands, of dollars in savings and that kind of impact is impossible to forget."

All of these statistics indicate that travel is an important part of life. In addition to the high number of people traveling for pleasure, there are millions who travel regularly for work. In fact, over $317 billion was spent on business travel in 2017. The travel market increased by 5 percent in 2018 and is expected to continue growing steadily through 2019. Another surprising statistic is that impulse trips are a growing trend. More than 60 percent of travelers would consider an impulse trip if there was a good deal on their flight, hotel or rental car.

Despite these statistics in travel practices, there are still 705 million vacation days that go unused annually and 52 percent of Americans have unused vacation. There are also 212 million vacation days that must be forfeited each year as employees don't use them. Rather than lose those vacation days, EmployeeandMemberDiscounts.com offers reduced cost vacations so Americans can use them and enjoy some valuable time off with family and friends.

There is never a membership fee for EmployeeandMemberDiscounts.com and now, with the partnership with Access Development, members will be able to access significant savings on their travel needs. This includes airfare, lodging, rental cars and even luggage. Access has helped organizations connect with customers for more than 30 years. Its expertise helps partners build revenue, improve loyalty and retain more customers. The company's discount network of over 700,000 merchant locations is the largest in the country. Through its travel and activities engine, Access can save members between 10 and 50 percent on hotels and rental cars compared with other providers, including Expedia, Booking.com and Priceline.
