For the Virtual Travel contest, is submitting more than one entry beneficial? I see nothing in the rules that prohibits this. I did forget to note in my submission that I have Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook social accounts.

Hi Lori,
No, submitting more than one entry is not beneficial. We will make a note on your submission that you do in fact have those social media accounts. Thanks for entering and good luck!

I love to travel and mostly travel by myself. I do a lot of research before a trip to learn the history of where I’m going so I can understand what I’m seeing and why it’s important. I’m very artistic. I’m healthy and would love to do this!

My dream has always been to be a travel agent and travel around the world. Due to Coronavirus and with this time locked inside, I’m convinced that all humans need to share their history and their lifestyle. So it would be amazing to travel virtually and to use that as a tool to continue my decision to run my own travel agency. I’ve been working these past months to accomplish that dream and I’ve had it since I was young. This would be a blessing definitely!! Good luck to everyone. This is a good idea.

Hey, I just wanted to add that I do have Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat for my social media and I can create a Twitter account if you’d like! That’s no problem at all! I just forgot to put it in my submission. Thanks for the opportunity guys!

I forgot to mention that I also have social media accounts – Facebook and Instagram. I do not have twitter though. I know that this will probably be a big factor but I just wanted to let you know. I wish everyone luck that entered. I hope everyone that entered has traveled or loves traveling as much as we do. We already have our next two trips booked – west Caribbean cruise booked for November and next year we are heading to NZ/AUS and we are not sure if we should go to Bali, Vietnam, or Malaysia? The joys of traveling.

I too have all the social platforms. It helps keep everyone in check on what I’m up to!

I just submitted my application but did not see where to include social media handles. Did I miss it? Thanks

Hi Jeanine,
You’re not required to enter your social media accounts into the form, it is just preferable that applicants have them. We will make note on your application that you do. Thanks for applying and good luck!

Just submitted my application! Wonderful to announce this “job” during the circumstances at hand. It will definitely give the company heads up for future travel plans and expectations.

Hi, I did not see any place to put social media handles and forgot to add it in the end. Is it a major deal breaker or do I need to do another application?

I was just checking on the submission process. I hit “submit” and it sent me back to this page (no “thanks for your submission” or email). Is there a way to check and see if it went through?! This looks like a fun and interesting opportunity and I would hate to miss my chance based on a glitch!

Hi Diane,
After clicking submit you should see a box that says “Your response has been recorded”. If that did not appear then please feel free to resubmit your application.
Thanks for applying and good luck!
