Visit Utah and Wyoming national parks on tour buses used by Beyonce, Cher and Justin Timberlake
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–It’s no surprise that COVID-19 has made road trips extremely popular this summer––representing, according to AAA, 97% of all vacations. And while Labor Day weekend may mark the unofficial end of summer, it doesn’t mean that you still can’t get away for a one-of-a-kind experience with the family or a group of friends.
Groupon, the local marketplace that connects merchants to customers by providing unbeatable value on great experiences, and Hemphill Brothers Coach Company, a Nashville-area luxury tour bus provider that has shuttled the likes of Aerosmith, Beyonce, Cher and Justin Timberlake between concerts, have partnered to offer one person the ultimate social distancing vacation package. For $18,500*, you too can have a “Road Trip Rockstar” experience along with 10 of your best friends or family members (https://www.groupon.com/deals/road-trip-rockstar). This experience will include a week-long road trip across the United States to Arches, Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks in one of Hemphill’s 115 RVs.
“We’re disappointed too that we can’t see our favorite artists on tour this summer, which is why we’re excited to offer the next best thing––a rare opportunity to travel the country just like some of the biggest names in the music business,” said Jason Jacob, vice president of experiences, Groupon. “People are looking for road trips where they can spend time with those they love, and this is the perfect way to end the summer in style!”
