Associated Luxury Hotels Announces Last Chance for 2005 Giveaway
The popular 2005 Five Diamond Tour concludes with the final one-carat diamond giveaway at Holiday Sh
NOVEMBER 21, 2005. The Associated Luxury Hotels 2005 Five Diamond Tour - where more than $30,000 in one-carat diamonds were awarded to lucky planners at select tradeshows - has one final stop this year. The "Willard Diamond" - named after the famed Associated Luxury Hotels member, the Willard InterContinental Hotel - will be the final jewel available this year for planners visiting Associated Luxury Hotels' Luxury Lane area, booths 223-236 at Holiday Showcase in Chicago this December.
The Five Diamond Tour coincided with the company's impressive collection of Four and Five Diamond-quality hotels and resorts and slogan, "Associated Luxury Hotels - it's like having a friend in the diamond business." The responses from planners this year was overwhelming, as four lucky winners are now donning new sparkling gems.
Due to the popularity of the promotion, David Gabri, president and CEO, has announced the program will be expanded through 2006 as a featured component of the Associated Luxury Hotels 20th year anniversary celebration. The first jewel of the New Year will be the "Bellagio Diamond" - named after the incomparable Bellagio in Las Vegas. The Bellagio diamond will be given away at MPI PEC in January... just visit and register in Luxury Lane at the show.
"The Holiday Showcase show marks the end of the 2005 promotion, so planners shouldn't miss this final chance to win a nice holiday surprise this year," Gabri said. "We are wrapping up this year and will see what 2006 holds for more lucky planners as we celebrate the milestone of 20 years of service to our meeting planner colleagues. January will be the start of another 'gem' of a year for planners!"
