Winning candidates will receive a €4,300 gift card in exchange for a review of a hotel’s room services, bathrobes or gyms.
Hotel lovers will soon be able to turn their travel dreams into reality after Hotels.com launched a new contest offering participants a luxury stay in exchange for an evaluation of the experience.
The company is inviting interested parties to compete for one of three unusual “positions”: room service critic, bathrobe researcher or hotel gym evaluator.
Although they are not formal jobs, the initiative offers winners a 4300 euro gift card to spend on accommodation at a hotel of your choice, effectively covering a top-notch stay.
In return, selected candidates must share their experiences through a post on social media and send a detailed review on the platform, providing feedback on the chosen specialty.
The campaign is part of a broader effort by Hotels.com to simplify and add fun to the travel booking experience. Melanie Fish, the company’s vice president of public relations, said the concept reflects the brand’s direct approach.
“Book a hotel It shouldn’t be complicatedand the same applies to a role,” said Fish, noting that the roles are intentionally self-explanatory and designed to appeal to everyday travelers, not industry professionals.
To apply, interested parties must submit a brief explanation of no more than 200 words, detailing why they are suitable for their chosen role, along with the name of a hotel they would like to visit. Candidates also need provide your social media profiles and the number of followers, which suggests that online engagement will play an important role in the selection process.
Currently, competition is limited to residents of the United States, although there is speculation that similar opportunities may be expanded to other regions in the future, says .
The initiative taps into the growing trend of experiential marketing, where brands offer immersive or inspiring rewards to engage consumers.
