Operator announces Independence Day million dollar giveaway
USAirtours is giving families who book a 2013 holiday to Orlando before the end of September $250 spending money.
They will receive a Visa card pre-loaded with the money to be used anywhere in Orlando.
The offer is only applied to bookings for at least two adults and two children for a hotel stay of at least 14 days and every booking must include a full-size rental car and Disney Ultimate Attraction tickets to qualify for the $250.
USAirtours, which announced the giveaway to celebrate its 30th anniversary this year, said it expected to make 4,000 bookings and had allocated $1m to give away to customers.
All bookings can only be made through a USAirtours appointed agent and posters will be sent to agencies. Additional supporting material can also be downloaded from the USAirtours website.
CEO Guy Novik said: "We continue to be one of the few operators that still only takes bookings through the trade and does not sell directly to the public. Agents need all the help they can get right now and I have set aside a million dollars for this promotion to help boost bookings and drive business through the doors of our agency partners"
