Candidates are invited to post an initial "pitch" on
www.greatestholiday.radissonblu.com as to why they deserve to win the
prize. They can include videos, photos and links as part of their lobbying
and, through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, can harness the
power of web-based word of mouth communications to encourage friends, family,
as well as people visiting the site, to vote for them. The candidate with the
most votes will be named the winner when the competition ends on 24 July
2010.

The unique prize, that can be shared as long as the winner accompanies
any group, can be taken anywhere in the world staying in a choice of over 200
Radisson Blu hotels - to satisfy all and any city-break, countryside or
seaside location. John Kennedy, Vice President Marketing & Customer
Relationship at Rezidor says, "This is an exciting venture for us, and is a
great way of interacting with our consumers and rewarding them with a chance
to win this once in a lifetime, first-class Radisson Blu experience. We are
using all types of media to promote this competition and it is the first time
that we have taken advantage of social media." "The winner might decide to
make the most of this exclusive opportunity by celebrating a special occasion
with up to 40 people, or maximise the prize by taking several holidays with a
partner, family and/or friends - or travelling solo to see the sights. The
choice is up to them with five years to take advantage of 365 Radisson Blu
hotel nights", continues Kennedy.
