Groupon Goes on Vacation With Expedia

Expedia recently announced what looks like a promising partnership with Groupon. Groupon is creating a special section on its site called Groupon Getaways that will offer deep discounts to the tune of 50 percent on travel related services by tapping Expedia's inventory of hotel rooms and travel services from its 135,000 hotels as well as car rental and cruise options across the globe. Expedia competes with other leading online travel service providers such as Priceline and Kayak.
