SHOPPING OUTLET CHAIN CREATES `MALL VACATION PACKAGES'

ROSELAND, N.J. (Wireless Flash) -- When it comes to vacations, tourists are going "mall around the world" -- literally. A New Jersey-based shopping outlet chain has just created a series of vacation packages where the destination is one of their 20 luxury shopping malls across America. Packages range from $99 for a simple hotel room near a mall to more than $500 for a luxury package that includes spa treatments. One of the most popular trips is to a Cleveland-area mall that also includes a tour of the Rock `n' Roll Hall of Fame. A spokesperson for Chelsea GCA Realty says the company created the tours after employees noticed some customers were willing to travel hundreds of miles just to visit their favorite luxury outlet stores.
