EDMOND —
Run a marathon? Visit the rain forest? Backpack through Europe? If given the chance to cross the ultimate to-do item off your list, what would you choose? According to the general managers of Hilton Garden Inns in the Edmond area, a recent study conducted by the hotel brand showed that nearly seven out of 10 Americans have created some type of ultimate to-do list with travel and volunteering for a cause topping the list. Hilton Garden Inn, along with National Geographic Traveler, launched the second annual “Life’s Ultimate To-Do List” contest on July 10 to encourage consumers to enter for an opportunity to make their bucket list dreams a reality.
The contest, which runs through Aug. 5 on Hilton Garden Inn’s Facebook page, asks consumers to share their top to-do list item and why they should win the prize, which will serve as their entry into the contest. Entries also will be added to Hilton Garden Inn’s ongoing “Ultimate To-Do List,” a comprehensive guide of fun and interesting things to explore across the globe. At the end of the contest, the 10 best entries will be chosen as the grand prize winners and they can fulfill their to-do list item. Each winner will receive a three-day/two-night trip totaling up to $5,000. The trip will include roundtrip airfare for the winner and a guest to the destination of their choice near an eligible Hilton Garden Inn hotel, hotel accommodations at any eligible Hilton Garden Inn around the globe, spending money to spend on the activity, a flip camera to document the adventure and a year-long subscription to National Geographic Traveler.
To enter the contest, explore the consumer-generated Ultimate To-Do list content, and find more information, visit the Hilton Garden Inn Facebook page at www.facebook.com/HiltonGardenInn.
