Global Connections Opens 2017 Vacation Activities Bracket Voting

Global Connections Inc. (GCI), a pioneer in the travel club industry, has announced that the members of Global Discovery Vacations may now participate in a college basketball tournament style bracket voting to establish their favorite vacation activities.

According to Tom Lyons, President and CEO of GCI, “We’ve taken 16 popular activities that travelers enjoy while vacationing. Each day members vote for their favorite.  Over the course of three weeks, the destinations will be narrowed down one by one until reaching the Best Four.”

The “Final Four” activities will then be paired up against each other to see which comes out the favorite.  The voting takes place via Global Discovery Vacations’ popular social media pages.  GCI ran a similar contest in 2016 but it featured vacation destinations with the Lake Tahoe area surfacing as the winner.

In the 2017 Vacation Activities bracket challenge, the initial 16 competitors for the contest are:

  1. Watersports
  2. Nature Hikes
  3. Amusement Parks
  4. Museums/Landmarks
  5. Wineries/Breweries
  6. Extreme/Thrill-seeking
  7. Beach
  8. Winter sports
  9. Live Entertainment
  10. Shopping/Dining
  11. Getting Lost/Exploring
  12. Cruising
  13. Taking a Tour
  14. Relaxing
  15. Immersing in Culture
  16. National Parks

The winning activity will be announced the same day as the final game of the NCAA basketball tournament–April 3, 2017.
