Delving deeper into the $15,000 prize for the 'adventurous traveler' visiting 25 countries in 1 year, Ms. Nguyen Hong Nhung, representative of Mytour shares:
'We aim to make participation easy. As a player in the industry, we're excited about the event and want a challenge that's practical, fair, and comes with a great prize.'
A year-long itinerary covering 25 countries might not be too daunting for the average traveler. However, in this context, the challenge is certainly not going to be a walk in the park, especially when information, experience, and routes are already available from inspiring books that many trust and support.
Who is the '15,000 USD Challenge' targeting?
Addressing the query, Ms. Nhung says: 'As discussed in the previous article, we've noticed many individuals feeling 'inspired,' some even nurturing the 'desire to travel 25 countries.'
“However, for a long and challenging journey, one must have experience, thorough preparation. This is always the message we at Mytour want to convey.”
“And not just because there's a prize, people will hit the road. Because many values, opportunities are difficult to convert into money. On this trip, one will have to sacrifice time for family, work, friends, or other personal plans.
So, those of you who have really set a serious itinerary, come to Mytour. We provide additional useful information, a network of friends everywhere, travel insurance, etc. to help you plan better. And when you come back, you'll get another gift from Mytour.”
