The overall winner of the Competition will win a Round-the-World trip for two people to the value of £15k courtesy of Trailfinders. The prize includes all flights and luxury accommodation for two people plus transfers, organised tours and meals where indicated (See Rules).
This amazing prize will start off in the USA with 2 nights in New York followed by 2 nights in San Francisco. From there, you’ll fly over to New Zealand for a 4 night stay in Auckland and another 3 days/2 nights in the Bay of Islands. Then it’s off to Australia – 2 nights in Sydney, 2 days/1 night in the Blue Mountains, 3 nights in Port Douglas, 4 nights in Far North Queensland, and 1 night in Cairns. But wait, that’s not all! For the last leg of your trip, you’ll head to Bangkok, Thailand for 3 nights and then finish off your mammoth journey with 4 days/3 nights in Cairo, Egypt. Phew, what an amazing holiday… not to mention the amazing photos you’ll be able to enter into next year’s competition!
The trip can be taken within 12 months of the competition closing date but the prize winner must confirm the dates with Trailfinders within 28 days of their confirmation as winner. The tickets are non-transferable and non-reroutable.
