Utah Couple Wins Global Travel Network Grand Prize

OVERLAND PARK, KS – (November 2, 2018) – Global Connections Inc. (GCI), the highly-respected resort developer, travel club fulfillment and service provider of Global Discovery Vacations (GDV), is pleased to announce the Grand Prize winners in an annual drawing held by its authorized distributor Global Travel Network (GTN).  

 

This year’s Grand Prize winners were Cliff and Crystal Mitchell of Cove, Utah who received a $2500 Best Buy Gift Card.  Although participants need not be GDV members, this years’ lucky couple, who entered the drawing at the Utah State Fair,  were coincidentally members. The Mitchells were selected from over 100,000 entries collected at various events during 2017.  

 

When Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell were asked how they felt about winning, they responded, “We plan on going to Best Buy for the first time ever and seeing what they have. We might look at new phones, and gifts for the family.”

“Folks tend to think no one wins these drawings, but they do!  We were surprised that GDV members were randomly selected, “ said Scott Nichols, President of GTN.  “It’s always great to give away the Grand Prize and to see the smiles on the winners’ faces.

“We’re happy to announce that our grand prize value next year will increase to $5000.   The drawing will be held in the summer of 2019. Good luck to all entrants!” added Nichols.

Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah and open since August of 2002, GTN has three sales centers.  In addition to Salt Lake City, GTN also has centers in Denver, Colorado and Roseville, California. GTN is an authorized sales distributor for GCI and its travel club product, Global Discovery Vacations, which provides a membership based on “Star Credits”, allowing members to select a vacation program to fit their lifestyle and budget.
