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.

Contiki recently participated in Collegefest 2009 held at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston on September 26th- 27th. Collegefest is known throughout the New England area as the place to be for college students looking to get some swag, hear some great music and see what’s new from their favorite brands.
Contiki made their presence known with a fun prize wheel giveaway (free t-shirt anyone?), tons of information on trips and a European Magic trip giveaway at the end of the night on Sunday. We’re happy to announce the winner was Sarah Baker from Suffolk University. Contiki also promoted exclusive Collegefest specials throughout the show so, you pretty much had to be there to take advantage. Other event highlights included performances from Jeremih, Hellogoodbye and Talib Kweli.
Other sponsors included TMobile, Live Nation, Herbal Essences, Monster Energy, Rock Star, Honest Tea, EF Breaks and many, many more. We are stoked to be a part of this action-packed event and hope to see you there next year!
