Overland
Park, KS – July 2019 / Newsmaker Alert /
Global
Connections, Inc. (GCI), the highly-respected resort developer, travel
club fulfillment and service provider of Global
Discovery Vacations (GDV) announces its annual Shoot for the Stars
contest. The yearly event selects winners in four categories from GDV Travel
Club Members who participate via social media. In past years, the contest
consisted of three categories: Family & Friends, Landscape and Wild
& Fun. The newest category added this year is “Condo Shots.”
Member
contests such as Shoot for the Stars continue to grow in popularity
among GDV’s members. The contest began with barely 30 entries from Global
Discovery Vacations club members. Last year’s contest brought in over 1000
entries.
With
the addition of the new category, members have 12 chances to win, with
three opportunities in each category. The prizes for winning are outstanding.
In this contest, GCI awards prizes that include a one-week vacation. Each
winning member also receives their own feature story published on GDV’s
blog and social media.
Submissions
for Shoot for the Stars are open until November 30, 2019 and the
winners will be revealed the second week of January 2020.
Interactive
contests are one way GCI builds a sense of community among GDV members.
Not only does Shoot for the Stars engage GDV members with the excitement
of sharing their travel photos with others, it also provides authentic
photos of members and their travels that frequently appear in member communications,
sales and marketing materials, printed collateral pieces, on the website,
social media and in testimonials.
The
contest builds pride, encourages loyalty and creates an environment of
member engagement, as well as building a unique library of true-to-life
vacation images.

year’s Shoot for the Stars winners included a family vacation
shot near the pyramids of Egypt, climbing Bell Rock in Sedona, AZ and a
travel-magazine worthy photo of Cinque Terre in Vernazza, Italy.

Lyons, President and CEO of GCI says, “We love seeing our members enjoy
their travel experiences. The photos are a visual reminder of good times
all around the world. We are particularly looking forward to entries in
the new Condo Shots category. We have accommodations in great locations
and it will be fun to see our member’s pictures of where they stayed on
vacation.”
