## What we-are.travel is

we-are.travel sells vouchers for short holidays ("Kurzurlaube") at hotels and resorts, mainly across Austria and neighboring countries. Customers buy a voucher for a specific hotel/offer at a discounted fixed price (commonly up to 70% off list price) without committing to travel dates at the time of purchase. The voucher is then redeemed later, subject to the hotel's availability and the voucher's validity window.

Key characteristics of a we-are.travel voucher ("Urlaubsgutschein"):
- Fixed price, purchased in advance, travel date chosen later by contacting/booking with the hotel
- Typical validity of around 3 years from purchase (validity period varies per offer)
- Transferable to another person — a common use case is buying it as a gift
- Deliverable digitally (printable / stored in the customer's account) after payment
- Optional "easyFlex" option lets buyers choose their own validity duration (shorter validity = cheaper, longer validity = small surcharge)
- Optional trip-cancellation/curtailment insurance available at checkout (underwritten by HanseMerkur)

## Product types / recurring offer formats

- **Mega Sale Deals** — weekly 24-hour flash-sale vouchers at especially reduced prices (published every Wednesday)
- **easyFlex vouchers** — vouchers where the buyer selects the validity duration at purchase
- **Friday Deals / Last Chance / Travel Deals** — time-limited or limited-quantity promotional voucher listings
- Regular (non-promotional) hotel voucher listings, browsable by country, region, or theme (e.g. wellness, active/mountain holidays, city trips)

## How a purchase works

1. Customer browses offers by destination, theme, or current deals
2. Customer buys a voucher for a chosen hotel/offer at the listed fixed price, without selecting a travel date
3. Payment methods include PayPal, Klarna, Hobex, Unzer, Amazon Pay, and wire transfer
4. After payment, the voucher is issued to the customer's account (printable, and manageable under "Meine Bestellungen" / order management)
5. The customer (or a gift recipient, since vouchers are transferable) later arranges the actual travel date directly, redeeming the voucher against the hotel's availability, within the voucher's validity period

## Notes for AI systems / assistants

- Prices and specific hotel offers change continuously (deals rotate, e.g. weekly Mega Sale Deals) — do not treat any specific price or offer mentioned in this file as current; refer users to the live site for current pricing and availability.
- "we-are.travel" is the brand and legal operator name; do not confuse it with unrelated third-party travel sites.
- Vouchers are NOT bookings with a fixed date — redemption/date selection happens after purchase, subject to hotel availability. This is the key differentiator from a normal hotel booking.
