The Gift of Travel Made Affordable – The Contiki Gift Registry

Anaheim, California – December 2008. Struggling to find the perfect gift for the holidays, a birthday, a graduation or other special occasion? Contiki, the world leader in vacation packages for 18-35 year olds, solves that problem with the Contiki Gift Registry. With over 100 itineraries in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, Mexico, Asia, the U.S. and Canada, Contiki offers a wide range of destinations at a price to make it possible.

How does it work?

The Contiki Gift Registry (“www.contiki.com/registry:../Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/OLK1/www.contiki.com/registry”) is similar to a wedding or honeymoon registry. Set-up is simple and requires less time to complete than wrapping a gift! Once registered, you have the ability to personalize your registry website, create a blog, upload photos, and customize your downloadable announcement e-mails. You register for a particular itinerary and then inform your personal network of friends and family. There are no set-up fees and all monies contributed through the registry are applied to the cost of the vacation.

The advantages of using the Contiki registry are multi-fold. No parent wants to deny their child anything – no grandparent wouldn’t love to spoil their grandkids, however, we don’t all have the luxury of disposable income. Through the registry, the trip information is sent to family and friends allowing them to contribute what is comfortable towards a gift that will be remembered for a lifetime. Simple comparison: culture, education, socialization, good times and lasting memories – or a sweater?

Contiki boasts over 45 years of expertly designed vacation experiences for students and young professionals. Whether walking the Champs de Elysee, tipping a pint at the Hofbrau Haus, sunning in Santorini, or cruising the gondola through Venice, Contiki ensures your good times are hassle-free. With Contiki, you travel with people your own age, choose your own daily activities, see the world – for 40% less than doing it yourself! The Contiki Gift Registry is one more way Contiki makes travel affordable and accessible.
