HUSBAND & WIFE TEAM TO EXPAND WHERETOSTAY.COM IN 2006, STRIVE TO FEATURE EVERY ACCOMMODATION ON THE PLANET
DALLAS, TX (Feb. 20, 2006)—WhereToStay.com, the ultimate travel resource for consumers searching "where to stay" on their next trip, was founded in late 1995 by husband and wife team Thom and Shawna Dunaway. Celebrating the company's ten year anniversary, the couple enters 2006 with an expanded vision for the website and a stronger-than-ever commitment to make WhereToStay.com the most comprehensive research site featuring worldwide travel options.
"We both share a passion for travel and wanted to develop a place on the Internet where others could conveniently find the best vacation options to meet their specific needs," said Thom Dunaway, founder and president of WhereToStay.com. He continued, "Thus, WhereToStay.com was born and has since helped millions of travelers find the perfect place to stay on the their next journey."
WhereToStay.com began as a Caribbean travel guide, with its mission to help travelers easily navigate through accurate yet concise information about hotels, resorts and villas of all sizes.
While celebrating 10 years offering "good sand advice" about places to stay in the Caribbean, WhereToStay.com now extends the opportunity for properties worldwide to become members and be featured on the website as a low-cost, yet highly-visible marketing option.
"It is our goal to serve a comprehensive research site featuring the most inclusive assortment of properties from around the world—not just the standard and most well-known accommodations listed by other websites," noted Shawna Dunaway, co-founder of WhereToStay.com and director of site content. "Thom and I, along with our dedicated team, have put 10 years of hard work and dedication into making WhereToStay.com the only website travelers need to visit when researching travel options," she added.
As part of its anniversary celebrations, WhereToStay.com has launched a six-month-long "Getaway Giveaway" promotion with the top prize of a six-day/five-night stay at the prestigious Turks & Caicos Club in the Turks & Caicos Islands, British West Indies—and air transportation on US Airways—for two people, valued at over $4,500, as the Grand Prize.
For complete details and to register for the "Getaway Giveaway" promotion, consumers should visit www.WhereToStay.com. The promotion will run from Feb. 1—July 31, 2006.
Centered around its "Know Before You Go" philosophy, WhereToStay.com offers in-depth information about thousands of places to stay as well as candid traveler reviews, useful advice and helpful tips from people who have experienced these destinations and accommodations first-hand.
Thom Dunaway began his passion for the Caribbean working in the Dominican Republic and Bahamas as a sailing instructor and scuba guide. From there, his love for the islands only grew. His other fascination has always been in the computer field. "I never imagined that my enthusiasm for the Caribbean and computers could mesh together perfectly for the ideal career opportunity," added Dunaway.
Shawna L. Dunaway also began her love affair with travel at an early age. Having visited nearly all of the Caribbean islands and countless other worldwide destinations, WhereToStay.com is the ideal outlet for Shawna to put her talent, skill and knowledge to use and help others searching for their ideal vacation.
Thom and Shawna were married in 1994 and have one child. Their favorite family activity is, of course, traveling to different destinations—especially the Caribbean. Thom hails from Dallas, TX, while Shawna's hometown is Norton, KS. The Dunaway family currently lives in Dallas, close to the WhereToStay.com offices.
