Daily Getaway

a startup idea shared by Seong Bae on 05/17/2013

For people living a busy life in urban areas, it can be very difficult to plan weekend getaways. This is especially true if you are a working parent with children. You want to have good times with your family on weekends but are too busy researching, planning, and coordinating what to do/where to go on weekend. There are weekend getaway deal sites such as Groupon, Expedia, and Travelzoo. But they focus on getaways where you travel on a plane, spend nights at a hotel, etc. What's missing in the market is "daily getaways" where you leave at like 8am and return by 5pm to a place that is within 1-2 hours from where you live. Why would people use this service? One, it's a lightweight, day trip, meaning you don't have to plan weeks ahead, book flights, or pack large bags. Two, you get to learn about hidden, local getaway gems that are only 1-2 hours away from you. Three, like other daily deals, the more people sign up, more perks you get.. and I'm talking about things like free transportation or free lunch from businesses/venues where you are visiting.
