Preferred Hotels & Resorts Embraces Authentic Family Travel Moments

July 25, 2016

CHICAGO – July 26, 2016 – Today, Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest independent hotel brand, launches the #FamilyTravelTruth contest. The hashtag campaign celebrates the unpredictable and chaotic moments that go hand-in-hand with family travel and puts a call out to families to share their favorite unfiltered moments on Instagram. Each week from July 26 to August 23, one participant will be chosen as the winner of a two-night stay at one of the brand’s family-friendly luxury hotels around the world and 25 Instagram photo prints from Artifact Uprising.

“As a father of four, I understand how family vacations can run the gamut. From the proud moment when I see one of my children get up on a skis for the first time to an endless road trip when everyone is having a meltdown – each experience is memorable in its own right,” said Casey Ueberroth, Chief Marketing Officer of Preferred Hotels & Resorts. “Preferred Hotels & Resorts has always championed family travel, and we are excited to see the candid moments that families worldwide are enjoying this summer.”

Capture the Moment & Win
Consumers are encouraged to post photos on Instagram of their favorite family travel moments – past or present, picturesque and the unfiltered. To qualify for the weekly prize, entrants must use hashtags #FamilyTravelTruth and #contest in their photo caption, as well as tag @PreferredHotels. One winner, selected each week over the course of four weeks, will have the opportunity to select from a variety of destinations worldwide for their fun-filled, two-night getaway. All winners will be announced on Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ Instagram page before August 31, 2016.
