Guest Post From: Nicole Valles, Contiki Marketing Coordinator
Tourism Italy organized a cross-country tour to educate consumers and travel agents alike on the wonders and beauty of Italy via their mobile education center and lounge. I decided to take the afternoon to visit Tourism Italy during their stop at the Irvine Spectrum Center here in sunny California.
The 53’ double-expandable trailer featured a café-style interior outfitted with comfortable guest seating, oversized photomurals and a series of large touch screen monitors that enable individuals to navigate their own personal tour of Italy’s 20 different regions.
Samples of chocolate and olive oil were available thanks to their sponsors, ensuring no one walked away empty handed. That coupled with all the great information on Italy and its many regions led to a very enriching experience. Not to mention, the place totally reminded me of a nightclub.
Ciao!

We made an appearance over the weekend at the Toyota of Orange Chapman University 5K race and were able to show our support for the 2K race attendees and participants. We encountered several past passengers (even a client from 20 years ago!) and were able to introduce ourselves to many new faces. We passed out Contiki water bottles and key chains to the weary runners and checked out the other sponsors that included Minute Rice and Yoga Works (can you say health conscious??). All in all, it was a good morning despite the 6am start time but, like they say, the early bird catches the worm. Too bad worms are gross.

Contiki recently participated in Collegefest 2009 held at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston on September 26th- 27th. Collegefest is known throughout the New England area as the place to be for college students looking to get some swag, hear some great music and see what’s new from their favorite brands.
Contiki made their presence known with a fun prize wheel giveaway (free t-shirt anyone?), tons of information on trips and a European Magic trip giveaway at the end of the night on Sunday. We’re happy to announce the winner was Sarah Baker from Suffolk University. Contiki also promoted exclusive Collegefest specials throughout the show so, you pretty much had to be there to take advantage. Other event highlights included performances from Jeremih, Hellogoodbye and Talib Kweli.
Other sponsors included TMobile, Live Nation, Herbal Essences, Monster Energy, Rock Star, Honest Tea, EF Breaks and many, many more. We are stoked to be a part of this action-packed event and hope to see you there next year!
