Traveling a lot for work and pleasure, model-turned-entrepreneur Stephanie Chai is well aware of the damages traveling can do to your bank account. In her new venture, "The Luxe Nomad" (www.theluxenomad.com), Chai gives other jetsetters-alike the opportunity to purchase luxury hotel and villa experiences at a fraction of the cost. The catch? The prices are available for a limited time only.

Each week, this members-only website will feature a fresh array of hotels on sale with savings up to an astounding 70 percent. Members will have to act quickly as the hotels featured in the flash sales are available for seven to 10 days only. Although still in its beta phase, more than 100 hotels and villas are already available on the site, including Sri Panwa in Phuket and Villa M in Koh Samui. And best of all, membership is free.

With a team of industry experts and celebrity curators in tow - such as Miss Malaysia Universe Deborah Henry and TV host Henry Golding - The Luxe Nomad adds a touch of glamour to travel by offering insider access to the luxury escapes and secret getaways of the rich and famous.

"In Asia, travel bookings are increasingly moving online, but right now no one is catering for the luxe traveler to whom time and quality is important," says Chai. "I created The Luxe Nomad to do three things: offer travelers exclusive rates to some of Asia's most fabulous destinations; feature a curated list of hotels; and last, but definitely not least, inspire people to travel."

Unlike other online travel booking sites, The Luxe Nomad values great editorial content, which is why they have partnered with DestinAsian, Asia's leading travel and lifestyle magazine. The Luxe Nomad will publish selected articles from DestinAsian to provide their members inspiring and interesting insight into some of Asia's most popular destinations.

With backing from Tigris Capital, a Singapore-based digital media investment fund; SPRING Singapore, an agency under the Ministry of Trade and Industry; and a team of celebrity 'nomads' and industry experts, The Luxe Nomad is well-equipped to become a market leader in the online travel booking industry.
