  REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN, Jun 30 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Editors Note: There are two photos and a video included with this Press
Release.

    Dr. Delisle D. Daysoff, in conjunction with Tourism Saskatchewan, is
pleased to announce the establishment of North America's first-ever
Vacation Intervention resource. In an effort to help vacationers break
out of their long-entrenched holiday habits, Dr. Daysoff and his team
have launched the innovative self-help website,
www.vacationintervention.com.

    This website offers a variety of tools and information to help
vacationers overcome their routine tendencies:

    - Watch the story of Jim, a habitual vacationer, as his family and Dr.
Daysoff conduct a tearful intervention and help the healing begin.

    - Know someone headed down the wrong path? Create and send a customized
Vacation Intervention video. Or make one for yourself, with a few clicks
of a mouse.

    - Relax to the sounds of soothing audio affirmations, with suggestions
for new, interesting (Saskatchewan) destinations.

    - Become inspired by desktop wallpapers that help you choose the holiday
that is right for you. Download these directly to your computer.

    - Chat live with knowledgeable, understanding travel counsellors who can
provide alluring and beneficial (Saskatchewan) vacation suggestions.

    "It is very exciting to inspire travellers to contemplate new and
interesting destinations," said Dr. Daysoff, "and to encourage them to
visit places they may never have considered for a trip. Like
Saskatchewan, for example. I am very pleased with the website, and
appreciate the hard work of my colleagues at Strategic Direct Marketing
Group (SDMG) and Tourism Saskatchewan who helped bring it to life."

    "What a distinct privilege it is to work, in tandem, with the esteemed
Dr. Daysoff," said Dr. Lynda Haverstock, President/CEO of Tourism
Saskatchewan. " VacationIntervention.com is a positive step in combating
monotony, frustration, and the many challenges faced by those who suffer
recurring vacationitis and similar ailments. We look forward to helping
them explore alternate possibilities and discover new experiences in
beautiful vacation destinations - such as Saskatchewan."
