(Friday, April 28, 2006) - It's nearly unanimous: 99% of Carlson Wagonlit Travel Associate agents surveyed in a recent poll said that they offer gift certificates to everyone seeking the ultimate gift idea – the gift of travel. With the flurry of major seasonal gift-giving opportunities rapidly approaching, 96% of those surveyed indicated that they offer gift certificates in any denomination sought by gift-givers. And just in time for those who want to give their loved ones a specific experience they'll never forget, Carlson Wagonlit Travel Associates today announced the details of its special offer on GOGO Worldwide Vacations, which includes $100 in spending money in addition to exceptional value on all-inclusive pricing to Mexico and the Caribbean when packages are booked during the month of May.

"We recognize that this is the season when major life events – such as graduations, weddings and anniversaries – are at their peak. Factor in Mother's Day and Father's Day, and suddenly it's easy to get hung up on what to give," noted Roger E. Block, CTC, executive vice president of the Carlson Wagonlit Travel Associate Division.
