Contests, Contests EVERYWHERE

Lately, I’ve noticed a big push among travel companies to give away free trips in order to promote their destinations. Some of them aren’t chump change, either. Here are a few:

*Go to Spyder.com and click on the “Enter The Discover Jamaica Sweepstakes” to get to the entry page where you can win a 5-day/4-night trip for two to Jamaica at the all-inclusive Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort & Spa in Ocho Rios. You’ll find five pools, great restaurants, a spa and the Lighthouse waterslide. You’ll fly round-trip on Air Jamaica, and get the chance to try out Rainforest Bobsled Jamaica at Mystic Mountain.

*The San Diego North Convention and Visitors Bureau is looking for San Diego North travel stories from recent visitors to feature in its newly-launched “Don’t Be Left Without a Story – Write Yours in San Diego North” campaign. Head to the Bureau’s website  for a chance to win a trip to La Jolla, valued at over $1,700, which includes a three-night stay at the historic Grande Colonial hotel, surfing lessons at the Surf Diva Surf School and tickets to Birch Aquarium.

*The Netherlands Board of Tourism and Conventions just launched its newest marketing campaign — “Just be. In Holland.” — and to mark the launch of this new year-long campaign, you can enter a series of contests at the website each week through March 4th.  You’ll be eligible for weekly prizes and one grand prize: two round-trip business class tickets on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to Amsterdam, and a four-night stay at the Sofitel Amsterdam The Grand.

*Caribbean Culinary Vacations is offering a weekend giveaway for two. First, sign up for the Caribbean Culinary Tours newsletter, and refer a friend through the link, and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a Caribbean Culinary Vacation getaway to any of their tour destinations.
