Marriott and Renaissance Caribbean & Mexico Resorts Launches Facebook-Exclusive “Resort to Romance” Contest
July 20, 2011
Following the immense popularity of the recent Paradise Beach Blogger contest, Marriott and Renaissance Caribbean & Mexico Resorts (MARCAM) launches “Resort to Romance”—its second installment of the interactive Beach Blogger campaign. Couples and wannabe travel bloggers enter the Resort to Romance contest now through July 28, 2011 for a chance to blog in bliss and win one of two all-expenses-paid, five-day vacations for two to a premier Marriott resort property of their choosing.
The Resort to Romance contest is available exclusively to fans of Marriott Caribbean & Mexico Resorts’ Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/MarriottCaribbeanMexico. To enter, participants simply visit the Facebook page and follow the instructions found on the Resort to Romance tab. The Facebook page is dedicated to the Caribbean & Mexico Resorts of three Marriott International brands—JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Renaissance Hotels and Marriott Hotels & Resorts.
Resort to Romance gives couples, bloggers, and travel lovers alike a chance to vacation at one of the properties within the MARCAM Collection—a group of nine exceptional resorts situated on five Caribbean islands—Aruba, Grand Cayman, St. Thomas, St. Kitts, and Curacao—and two leading Mexican destinations—Cancun and Puerto Vallarta. From July 15 to July 28, 2011, applicants submit written narrative or short video clip detailing why they and their significant other are the ideal duo to win a chance to revitalize their romance at on one of MARCAM’s remarkable properties and blog about the journey as it occurs. Applicants then “share the love” with friends, family and fans via Facebook, Twitter or email and encourage them to vote for their entry via Facebook through July 31.
Following the submission period, 10 deserving finalists will be chosen and from August 3-17, 2011 family, friends and travel enthusiasts will again cast their vote on MARCAM’s Facebook page to determine which two couples will embark on their romantic beach getaway. The two finalists with the most votes will each be awarded a vacation of a lifetime to one of the participating Marriott Caribbean or Mexico properties.
The two winning blogger couples each receive a five day/four night stay in an ocean view room with all resort meals included, as well as a resort credit, welcome amenity and activities unique to destination, including but not limited to snorkeling, sailing or a destination tour. Each blogging twosome will chronicle their stay by creating and posting at least three blog entries per day, available on www.paradisebymarriott.com/resort-to-romance and the Collection’s Facebook page.
