The hunt for the face of global search is on. Oban Multilingual has teamed up with global online publisher EyeforTravel to hold a competition to find the most unique and creative ways people in different countries around the world search online for their holidays.
The winner will receive £250 in travel vouchers. Second and third place prizes will also be given.
The competition will kick off on World Cultural Diversity Day - May 21st. Entry will be available through faceofglobalsearch.com. Entrants will be presented with a fun flash game in which they travel the world and answer questions about how they search online for travel.
Only those who make it to the end of the game will be eligible for first prize. Everyone else will be entered into the second and third prize draw.
The goal is to find global travel searches that involve more than typing phrases into the search bar of their local search engine.
For example, a French person might find inspiration from travel guide site top-depart.com, and then head to Alibabuy.com to compare plane ticket prices, finally finding their discount accommodation on hostelworld.com.
But the competition doesn’t end online. The Oban team will venture to London with a camcorder in hand. There, they will ask tourists to share their experiences searching online for their trip to London.
The video responses will be posted on the website and will be entered into the competition as well.
