Gift Registry is Ideal for Holiday Season, Birthdays, Graduations & Honeymoons

ANAHEIM, Calif. Nov 16, 2009 – Sick and tired of receiving the same tube socks and gargoyle thermal sweaters every holiday season or birthday? With the season of giving right around the corner and a budget to watch, Contiki Holidays, the industry leader in designed travel for 18-35-year-olds, offers a completely turn-key gift registry program. The registry allows gift givers to help travelers cover the cost of reaching iconic destinations such as England, France, Italy, and Spain.

The gift registry account, which is initially set up by the traveler, automatically alerts family and friends of the itinerary the traveler has chosen. They can then contribute funds towards the trip in less time than it takes to wrap a gift! The Contiki Gift Registry works in three simple steps:

1. Book your trip: Select from over a hundred vacation packages throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Egypt, Southeast Asia, USA, Canada and Mexico

2. Sign up for the registry: Incoming funds will be applied directly to your vacation through your online gift registry account.

3. Send your registry announcement to friends and family: As part of the registry program, Contiki will send announcement cards to everyone on your list.

“Contiki is proud to offer a cost-conscious user-friendly gift registry program that helps travelers pay for their trip,” said Michelle Murray, Director of Marketing at Contiki Holidays. “With the trip registry you know you’re getting a gift you want – one that won’t be lost, returned or forgotten!” To learn more about Contiki’s gift registry or to register, visit http://contiki.com/registry.
