Today Government Vacation Rewards has over 1.1 million members who use GVR as their source for travel
Simi Valley, CA (PRWEB) August 31, 2017
Government Vacation Rewards, like parent company International Cruise & Excursions, Inc. (ICE), is dedicated to those who serve. The company has exclusive travel discounts and has negotiated special rates for its members. MilitaryConnection.com is proud of its long association with Government Vacation Rewards and ICE, and wants to help get out the word on their discounts and dedication to veterans.
ICE, which has more than 2,500 team members across five U.S. offices and six international locations in England, Mexico, Australia/Asia Pacific and Portugal, recently presented a $20,000 donation check to its military charity partner, Operation Comfort Warriors (OCW). OCW is an American Legion program dedicated to meeting the needs of wounded and injured military personnel by providing them comfort items not usually provided by the government. The money, raised in 2016 by ICE team members, reflects the company’s core value of giving back and making a difference in the community. The company also sponsors the annual Christel House Open, where some 1,500 golfers play on four continents to raise money for the global children’s charity.
“Today Government Vacation Rewards has over 1.1 million members who use GVR as their source for travel,” said Ashley Wilson, ICE VP of Marketing Development. “Those who have served have earned their right to the wholesale travel discounts that we can provide.”
Membership in Government Vacation Rewards’ program is free, and available to government employees, as well as those who have served in the military, past and present, and their family members. Members receive discounts based on itinerary, length of trip, and time of travel. Most members can expect to a minimum of $150 or more on their vacation. In addition, there are no online booking fees, and every vacation is backed by a Best Value Guarantee.
“We all need some down time to relax and switch off from our busy lives, and a vacation is the best way to get away from it all,” said MilitaryConnection.com CEO Debbie Gregory. “ICE created Government Vacation Rewards as a way to say ‘thank you for your service to our nation.’”
