A Day’s Outing Extends To Delaware As Newest State For Discovering Personalized Day Trips

July 20, 2009 - PRLog -- CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA,   Building upon its success in Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C., A Day’s Outing today announced it has expanded to Delaware as the newest state where people can discover short-distance day trips and weekend outings. A Day’s Outing, an online search tool for local trips, uses a person’s starting location and their personal interests to help them discover unknown activities, new places, and upcoming events. A Day’s Outing was created to help users spontaneously plan day trips so they can make the most of their leisure time with family and friends. With an anemic economy and gas prices still high, day trips, weekend outings and “staycations” appear to be more popular today than trips lasting one week or longer.  In fact, 40 percent of weekend travelers report they are taking more day and weekend trips today than they did five years ago.

Designed for Greatest Simplicity and Ease
Often when people are searching for local trips they are overwhelmed with too many publications and frustrated with online sites that either list events limited to only one geographical area or are confusing to navigate through.  For that reason, A Day’s Outing was built with simplicity as a priority.  With any search using A Day’s Outing, a user will only be presented with a single page to choose one’s preferences for an outing, one page with results, and one page with outing details.  The focus on simplicity eliminates getting lost on the site, saving users time and hassles when planning a day trip or weekend getaway.  Instead of having to do cumbersome searches one category at a time that alternative sites require, A Day’s Outing also lets users quickly search across multiple categories of interest ⎯ simultaneously.

Delaware’s Small Towns and Rural Communities
A Day’s Outing doesn’t just focus activities in big metropolitan cities like other online sites but also helps users discover outings, events and destinations in small towns and rural communities too.  A Day’s Outing is focused on offering fun and unique outings throughout Delaware, such as festivals, farmers’ markets, garden tours, museums, antiques, fairs, among others. The service essentially boils down each person’s search results to only the “good stuff,” eliminating activities like bars, nightclubs, and casinos.

“With so many wonderful outings available in Delaware, we’re excited that people can now plan the perfect day trip,” said Elizabeth Muse, CEO and cofounder of A Day’s Outing. “Whether someone lives in Delaware, in a nearby state or are visiting on vacation, A Day’s Outing will help people discover fun outings all across Delaware from Wilmington to the beach towns. With summer in full swing, there’s so much to see and do.”

Whether a person is vacationing and looking for a day trip or is starting their weekend adventure from home, A Day’s Outing is an ideal resource. The service can tell users about events and destinations they have never heard of in places that are many miles away or just around the corner.
