As America Opens Up, Red Roof® Welcomes Guests Who are Redi to Road Trip(TM) As They Enjoy Staycations and Statecations by Car

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- It's the year of the car. As the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the way we live and travel in 2020, and as states begin to ease restrictions, Americans are beginning to plan and take their coveted – and much deserved – vacations this year. Many travelers are taking road trips to get a break from home in a responsible, convenient and safe way. Industry experts say this will be the year of the road trip with 60% of Americans still intending to take a vacation in 2020 (Fuel Travel) and stay in a hotel within 6 months of the COVID-19 curve flattening (Harris Poll). Many travelers are making a summer vacation possible by hitting the road by car for a road trip rather than boarding a plane. They are bound for state and national parks (44%) or charting a course for the nearest stretch of beach (39%).

Car travel will be king with individuals and families taking vacations in places that are outdoors and close to where they live. Helping travelers with their plans and welcoming guests back with open arms, Red Roof®, the leader in upscale economy lodging, has launched the Redi to Road Trip™ summer program and microsite reditoroadtrip.com with state-by-state road trip itineraries and activities as well as significant discounts at Red Roof properties. Redi to Road Trip addresses traveler needs, with a focus on close-to-home locations, cleanliness, value pricing and proximity to outdoor activities in key areas.

"2020 will be the year of the car. Americans have faithfully sheltered in place for the last several months and are ready to now hit the road and confidently stay with hotels they trust implicitly," says Marina MacDonald, Chief Marketing Officer, Red Roof. "At Red Roof we pride ourselves on staying close to consumers with insights to gauge traveler wants and needs. Our Redi to Road Trip summer program gives travelers the confidence they need to explore neighboring states, parks and beaches, visit friends and family and book a stay with a brand they know and trust."

Responding to those who are Redi to Road Trip and plan a stay through Labor Day, Red Roof is offering up to a 25% nightly discount rate when booking direct at redroof.com, 800 RED-ROOF or by calling properties directly.
