Holiday Travel of America is an incentives/marketing company. They provide travel certificates, etc. to other companies/organizations. There is a lot of complaints online about how they don't fulfill those certificates, but they do not sell timeshare or give timeshare presentations and they do not sell to the general public. That being the case, I'm confused by your report since it doesn't seem likely that they were the real culprits in your experience unless there's more than one Holiday Travel of America in Carlsbad, CA. So my question to you is what was the name of the actual timeshare company whose "thugs" tried to get you to buy a timeshare?
