September 12, 2007

~ Book a five-night package and receive up to $800 in added value plus a chance to win your vacation back ~

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (September 12, 2007) – Rocky Mountaineer Vacations has a message for past and future guests from around the world: thanks a million. Next spring, one million guests will have experienced the vast beauty of Western Canada while onboard the world-acclaimed two-day all daylight Rocky Mountaineer train. To celebrate this milestone, guests who book a minimum five-night vacation package by January 15, 2008 will receive up to $800 per couple in added value. This bonus can be applied towards trip enhancements such as airfare, limousine sightseeing tours, meals or extra hotel nights. As an extra incentive, people who book a five-night vacation package from now until January 15, 2008 could be travelling for free: their names will go into the One Millionth Guest draw to win back the value of their trip.

“Welcoming our one millionth guest is a spectacular milestone for us,” says James Terry, Executive V.P. & C.O.O of Rocky Mountaineer Vacations. “It means our company’s efforts to provide a unique, quality travel experience is being recognized and enjoyed by people from around the world. This offer provides guests with an opportunity to extend their Canadian vacation experience, and if you are one of the ten lucky winners, your vacation is on us.”

Ten prizes will be drawn in 2008. Winners will be refunded the value of the qualifying Rocky Mountaineer vacation package booked during the contest period (September 1, 2007 to January 15, 2008), not including GST or insurance. The contest is open to residents of Canada and the USA only. The package booked must be a minimum five-night vacation package selected from Rocky Mountaineer Vacations’ 2008 brochure, and payment in full must be made at the time of booking.
