Show & Tell about “Gold Medal” hospitality
During Vancouver 2010 Winter Games
Contest seeks to celebrate workers and volunteers who helped welcome the world.
Vancouver, B.C. – As the crowds die down and the hotels, attractions and restaurants get ready to welcome the paralympians, go2 wants to celebrate B.C.’s gold medal performance as hosts, by recognizing hospitality workers and volunteers who spread out the welcome mat.
Until March 16, 2010, people can post, tweet, or email a photo or nomination to go2 on how they or people around them helped welcome the world to B.C. A winner will be chosen by an industry panel, and sent on a much needed three day, two night spring ski trip for two at Silver Star Mountain Resort. It includes round trip air fare between Vancouver and Kelowna, accommodation and two days of ski lift tickets for two.
“We know there are so many heart warming stories of people who went above and beyond to ensure our visitors had the time of their lives while in B.C.,” says Arlene Keis, CEO of go2. “This is a chance to capture those stories so we don’t forget them, and reward these extra special efforts.”
A winner will be chosen on March 18, 2010, giving them a chance to take advantage of the 2010 ski season. go2 will also feature the winner’s business and team members in its upcoming Career Awareness collateral and promotions, helping to profile their place of business as an employer of choice.
