Press Release: Holiday Group
May 16, 2006
SEATTLE, WA -- With warm weather, Memorial Day and summer vacation on the way, government officials are scrambling
to provide quick relief from soaring gas prices. But a Seattle-based company has beaten the bureaucrats to the
pump. By offering free $110 gasoline gift cards to their customers with every purchase, Holiday Group, a timeshare
resale company, hopes to provide some vacation relief.
"Though timeshare resales are as much as 60 to 80% below resort prices, this special offer makes vacationing
this Memorial Day even better," says David Skinner, Holiday's President. "We're doing what we can to
ease the consumer's burden so they can vacation more. Everyone could use a break."
Gas prices usually peak around Memorial Day, just as drivers prepare for a long vacation weekend. Today, the national
average price for a gallon of regular gasoline hovers around $2.90 -- up 72 cents from a year ago, according to
the Energy Information Agency. A $3 average is not far away -- which could prevent many people from driving over
the Memorial Day weekend and on through the summer.
Skinner believes people don't need to curtail their vacation plans over the price of gasoline. "The whole
purpose of a vacation is to eliminate stress," he notes. "People are really stressing about the price
of gas ... and we want to help them relax."
Even with the rise in gas prices, timeshare resales continue to thrive. And as more and more people feel the pinch
at the pump, $110 worth of free gasoline becomes an appealing incentive to consider a timeshare as a vacation alternative.
Between May 12th and May 29th, customers who purchase a timeshare from Holiday can say "fill it up' and they'll
receive a free gas card. For more details, please go to http://www.holidaygroup.com/press_releases/20060511gas.php.
