Travel Guard is hosting a contest and sweepstakes to identify the all-time worst travel nightmare.
World’s Unluckiest Traveler promotion
The World’s Unluckiest Traveler promotion is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada1 and will be open for contest entries from September 3 to October 15. Entrants can submit either a video or photo, along with the accompanying story describing their epic travel calamity. A three-week voting period will then commence on October 16, 2024, allowing the public to vote (once per day) for their favorite entry. Entrants can share their submissions across social media to encourage votes.
Winners will be chosen based on vote volume, with the grand prize of $10,000 going to the submission with the highest number of votes. The entrants that receive the second, third and fourth highest number of votes will also be awarded prizes. There’s even something in it for the voters, as a randomly selected voter will be chosen to receive a sweepstakes prize of a GoPro® action camera and kit2.
“We encourage travelers to protect their trips – and themselves – but we know that things don’t always go according to plan,” said Jeff Rutledge, CEO, AIG Travel. “We launched the World’s Unluckiest Traveler to recognize those who have endured the worst in pursuit of their love of travel and to highlight those sorts of mishaps that might make a travel insurance plan worth considering.”
