Experience winter in the summer with Jacky's

This summer, Jacky's is giving away exciting prizes, including four lucky winners the chance to win a luxury holiday package for two to New Zealand, which has been put together in association with Emirates Holidays.

From June 1 to July 30, 2005, Jacky's customers will have the chance to escape the heat and cool off in the land of the Maoris. The package is inclusive of airfare and a three-night and four-day stay at one of New Zealand's luxury hotels.

Ashish Panjabi, Chief Operating Officer, Jacky's said, "We always try to come up with innovative offers that will excite our customers. This year we decided to offer people the opportunity to explore New Zealand in winter, as that coincides with the hot summer season in the emirates."

New Zealand is a country of rare beauty: glacial mountains, fast-flowing rivers, deep, clear lakes, hissing geysers, and boiling mud. New Zealand is also famous for its skiing resorts, each with its own distinctive flavour. The New Zealand Southern Alps are bigger than the Swiss, French and Austrian Alps combined, offering slopes for beginners and intermediate skiers. But it is also the friendly people and the food that add to the New Zealand experience. Average temperatures in the New Zealand winter are 10-15 degrees Celsius.

The New Zealand Consulate General is pleased to have New Zealand included in the 'Winter at Jacky's' promotion. "Visitors from the Middle East to New Zealand are growing at a rate of around 20% per annum," said Mr. Gavin Young, New Zealand Consul General. "As a summer retreat, there are few that can compare. The New Zealand welcome begins before you start your travel. GCC nationals, along with 40 other nationalities, do not require a visit visa, for a travel period less than 90 days. For most other nationals, visas can be obtained from the New Zealand Consulate General in Dubai. The required documents are available online at www.immigration.govt.nz."

There will be four draws held. Each draw will take place fortnightly, with the first taking place on June 15, 2005. Further, there are loads of other prizes to be won that will add to the overall winning probabilities. These prizes include home theater systems, DVD players, Digital Cameras, mobile phones, etc.

Over the years, Jacky's has been offering customers some of the most attractive promotions to boost their retail sales, especially in the summer months.
