About

Patrons of
Morale, Welfare and Recreation can save substantially on their
vacation lodging expenses. The only
requirement is that reservations be made through an Information,
Ticketing & Registration (ITR) office, or directly with vendors
featured on the Army’s leisure travel web site, offdutytravel.com.
These special rates have been negotiated by the United States Army
Community and Family Support Center (CFSC) on behalf of the military
communities and are offered for a growing number of getaway destinations
located throughout the United States.
These special rates are available to all members of the military
communities, including active and retired military, members of the
National Guard and Active
Reserve,
DoD civilian employees, and family members.
The list of properties offering special
rates grows each week. The Armed Forces Vacation Club has been one of the most
used of the CFSC leisure travel lodging
programs. For a cost of only $264 (effecive Jan. 1), users can reserve a resort
condominium for seven nights. To review current availability and
how to book
a condominium
using this program, go to the Armed
Forces Vacation Club website. After
reading information about the program, click on “Available Resorts” and
then review the list of currently available resorts by state or country. There
are more than 150 screens of resorts in the United States that are currently
listed. To get specific information about a particular resort, just click on
the name of the resort and a screen will appear with pictures of the resort
grounds and a typical resort condo at the complex, along with a list of available
amenities
at the location. The web site is updated each morning. Because the program
is strictly space available, the majority of resorts are listed within 10 to
14
days of arrival.
Other well-known resorts offering year-round
special values include Keystone Resorts in Colorado (Breckinridge,
Arapahoe Basin, etc.),
Caesars Pocono Resorts
in Pennsylvania, and Super Clubs featuring all-inclusive resort packages
in Jamaica. The Bahamas and Brazil.
In addition to resort properties,
the ITR office can process prepaid reservations at more than 100
leading hotels at locations such as Atlantic City, N.J.,
Branson, Mo., Las Vegas, Nev., Los Angeles, Calif., New Orleans, La., New
York City,
and Orlando, Fla., as well as concessionaire lodging at select National
Parks, and
ocean mountain resort areas in the Northeastern and Northwestern U.S. At
some properties the soldier can save more than $100 per night (50 percent-or-more
off the standard room rate).
Beginning June 2004 Fort Campbell ITR will
be your one-stop travel agency to book cruise and all-inclusive
packages. Stop by and checkout the group
and
special cruise offers.

travel web site, or contact your local Fort Campbell ITR office at (270)798-7436/0509.
