Travelers Can Experience The American Road By Goin

New Motel 6 Initiative Encourages Travelers to "Rediscover" America

(Tuesday, April 08, 2008) - Starting this spring, Motel 6 offers travelers a fun, affordable way to explore many of the unique regions and destinations that America has to offer. Motel 6 is developing a series of uniquely American journeys as part of its new Web site, Goin6.com. This series will encourage travelers to experience the American road trip by highlighting several of the country's historic and culturally significant destinations and locales.



The series kicks off in April with the unveiling of the "Motel 6 Jazz Journey."� This journey is designed to encourage travelers to experience the American road trip by tracing the roots of jazz music. The route will follow the famous "Circuit"� between New Orleans and Chicago traveled by countless legendary musicians. It is truly one of the most historically vibrant threads of American music history.



In the future, the Goin6.com site will add new and exciting Motel 6 journeys with opportunities for travelers to explore and share their experiences of America. These journeys will include such attractions as America's National Parks as well as regional wine tasting tours and foliage tours.



Through informative and interactive features on Goin6.com web site, Motel 6 will guide guests on their chosen journey while highlighting comfortable and affordable accommodations available on the route. The web site will begin by featuring videos from the inaugural "Jazz Journey"� with lists of jazz venues for each city on the "Circuit."� As other journeys are added, road trippers, musicians, students, educators and other travelers can participate in the Goin"�6 community by posting messages and videos of their experiences. Visitors will also have the option of customizing their journey by choosing their own route, picking the sites of most interest to them and developing their own time frame for the journey.



"Since Motel 6 offers the lowest price of any national chain, you"�ll be able to spend less money on your room and more on all the entertainment and restaurants along the way,"� said Jeff Palmer, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Motel 6.
