Bailout Plan for the Vacation Deprived
-While our politicians work on a bailout for Wall Street,
The Society concentrates on those needing vacation assistance-

LAKEWOOD, CO. (September 30, 2008) – With Wall Street awaiting a government bailout; The Society of Leisure Enthusiasts (www.TheSociety.com) comes to the rescue of the vacation deprived with the “Vacation Bailout Plan”. Developed by two Oxford graduates in conjunction with travel consultants from around the globe, The Society’s “Vacation Bailout Plan” is for those on Main Street.

The Vacation Bailout Plan is to literally save the “American Vacation” during this period of economic uncertainty. With the December holidays fast approaching and Spring Break within 120 days, The Society needed to act immediately to assist those who may be delaying vacation planning due to concerns of cost and value.

According to Michael McFadden, Co-Founder of The Society. “For the vast majority of the American public, value is the utmost priority when booking a vacation this year. At TheSociety.com, visitors to the site will find exceptional values concerning the finest vacation home rentals in the world”. Vacation homes, once considered the privileged domain of the rich and famous are now available to vacationers seeking value for their vacation dollars. Fact: The average 5-star luxury vacation home is less expensive than a mid-range hotel on a cost per person/per night basis.
