About five people this hour have alerted us to this "travel package"
from Travelocity.
http://travelocity.burningtours.com/Vacations/Tours/Package/0,2604,TRAVELOCITY_289_,00.html
Before everyone goes forwarding it around in a tizzy, please be
advised that our crack team of researchers are quite convinced this
page is a PRANK - executed via a URL redirect.
The URL is not the format of Travelocity's tour URL's.
Additionally, if you click to book the tour or find out more, it
takes you to a page (on Travelocity) for a Canyonlands tour, and the
Burning Man 'tour' is nowhere to be found. The phone number shown
doesn't work, and isn't the 1-800 booking number shown on the
Travelocity site. Further, searching the Travelocity.com site (or the
Trafalgar tours site, who are shown to be the tour service) does not
show this tour anywhere on their site, no matter where you search.
(See the full list of Western US tours at
http://leisure.travelocity.com/Vacations/Tours/Type/0,2613,TRAVELOCITY_3_,00.html#6
. Note that the URL is "leisure.travelocity.com".)
Thus, a cleverly constructed joke. No need to call out the hounds.
Front row VIP seats for special Burning Man events for $1400? Woo
hoo, sign me up!
Thanks all,
AG
