Choice Hotels collabs with SA Tourism Commission for giveaways

Beautiful River Torrens in Adelaide, South Australia

Choice Hotels Asia Pacific has partnered with the South Australian Tourism Commission to launch its new consumer campaign, inspiring travellers to book their next getaway and experience what’s on offer in South Australia.

The partnership will debut Choice Hotels ‘Discover your ultimate South Australian Experience’ promotion, where travellers are invited to complete a short visual quiz to determine their perfect South Australian experience. Participants will also go into the draw to win a grand prize of a $1,000 Choice Hotels gift voucher to use at the South Australia property of their choice, plus a $500 visa debit card to spend on their own South Australian experience.

For those who miss out on the grand prize, there are also five runner-up accommodation vouchers up for grabs that can be used at one of the many Choice Hotels across South Australia.

Choice Hotels new initiative supports the South Australian Tourism Commission’s ‘For those who want a little more campaign’, which encourages travellers who want more from their holidays or weekends away to explore the variety of experiences South Australia has to offer.

From shark cage diving on the Eyre Peninsula, farm-to-plate experiences in the Barossa, or cycling along the Riesling Trail through the Clare Valley, the activities available span right across the state and have something for everyone’s interests.

The range of experiences across the state will cater to every traveller’s needs, and a terrific Choice Hotel is waiting for you to stay.
