Recently unveiled at yourholidaypromotion.com, Your Holiday Promotion is a direct-sale commission-free marketplace of special travel deals and offers. As a launch special, listings are free through September.

Hong Kong (PRWEB) May 27, 2012
With a view to becoming the largest and most trusted holiday clearinghouse on the web, Your Holiday Promotion now connects local travel-industry merchants directly with travel agents and independent travelers shopping for deals and special offers.

The brainchild of Wahid Ghazal, a successful travel professional with more than 30 years of experience, the new company was established in response to the high volume of email traffic from travel service providers blasting out advertising specials. Through Your Holiday Promotions, local merchants can instead display special product in a central travel marketplace where anyone can review their offers, still with no middlemen or transaction fees.

"Emails are a very efficient and low-cost way to sell - and a lot of the offers I receive are great - but they upset recipients who don't like receiving unsolicited messages," commented Ghazal, now CEO and Chairman of Your Holiday Promotion. "I kept thinking 'If only there were an unintrusive way to reach interested buyers.' Well, now there is. Your Holiday Promotion has been designed to have all the benefits of email blasts with none of the disadvantages. This includes reaching a much wider audience than the trade-only communications typical of promotion in the past."

Just as merchants pay to advertise in a print publication or to rent a stall in a physical market, they pay a small fee to display a special travel product or service on Your Holiday Promotion. Whether they're holiday home owners, tour operators, restaurateurs, accommodation providers or travel agents, as little as US$10 a month buys them a means to put information directly in front of travelers searching for interesting deals all around the world.

However, as a launch special and no-commitment opportunity to test the service, Your Holiday Promotion is offering regular listings to merchants at no fee until September 30, 2012, and homepage listings at no cost until July 31, 2012.

Your Holiday Promotion has also joined forces with the WHL Group, the largest local-travel company in the world. Already having worked with Ghazal and his team for many years, the WHL Group jumped at the idea of assisting small local suppliers, an ethic in keeping with everything the WHL Group does, and adding a new channel to market for them.

"Wahid Ghazal and his team have an amazing knowledge of running travel businesses and have always been extremely professional in the way they do things, a level of diligence we know they will bring to Your Holiday Promotion," remarked Len Cordiner, CEO of the WHL Group. "When they asked if we would like to team up with them on this idea, we liked it so much that we have taken some equity in the company and will work with them as one of the WHL Group companies, providing both technical and marketing support."

"In our experience in the travel industry, every day we see interesting promotions coming in from local suppliers all around the world," concluded Ghazal. "These are not the big multinational tour operators and travel wholesalers/retailers who dominate the airwaves, but smaller local providers who, in many cases, are suppliers to the bigger groups but earn very little from them. Your Holiday Promotion offers these local suppliers a chance to sell directly to travelers, without the middlemen, so that you get great deals and they earn a little more themselves. It's win-win... unless you are one of the large middlemen of course!"
