Could you be our TV star?
Ever fancied yourself as the
next Judith Chalmers or Craig
Doyle? Well, now’s your chance
to win £5,000 with TWgroup’s
Travel Stars competition.
Presented by TWgroup in
association with Holiday Brokers
TV and gazetteers.com,
Travel Stars is offering agents
the opportunity to try their
hands at being a travel TV
presenter.
All you have to do is record
a report – on a video camera
or mobile phone – either from
your holiday destination or once
you get home. Next, just upload
it to www.gazetteers.com.
Your video can be about
anything providing it gives an
insight into your destination,
resort and the locals you
encounter on holiday, while
showing off your potential
for presenting.
You can upload as many
video clips as you like, but
each should be no more than
fi ve minutes long.
Feel free to
dress how
you like and
stand out
from the
crowd
The winner will become a
TV reporter for Travel Weekly
and attend the prestigious
Globe Travel Awards in London
in January. Not only that,
there’s a £5,000 cash prize up
for grabs. The deadline for
entries is January 16 2009.
James Algra, key account
manager at On Holiday Group,
which owns Holiday Brokers
TV, said: “What makes a good
video stand out is you. Dress
up, mess around, bring in
props if you like.
“The best reviews are
described from a customer’s
point of view. They highlight
the things that really matter
to you personally. For example,
cleanliness of hotel
rooms, staff attitude,
hotel location, activities and
value for money.”
TWgroup editor-in-chief
Penny Wilson said: “Agents
have added thousands of written
reviews on gazetteers.com
and now we want to match
that with video reviews. This
competition is easy to enter, so
if you fancy yourself as a
presenter then load up your
holiday review.”
