When The World’s Greatest Travelers Compete In Annual International Travel Adventure
-- A Million Miles Traveled Will Raise $1 Million for Charities"
Vancouver, Canada (December 10th) – Tis’ the season to give and by the time one daring Team competing in The Global Scavenger Hunt finishes the hundreds of exotic cultural scavenges and crosses the finish line, all 25 Teams of two will have collectively walked, bush-taxied, bullet trained, tuk-tuked, bicycled, flown, boated and ridden camels, elephants, oxcarts and rickshaws, over a million miles! They will travel from Los Angeles to New York – the long way! But there are more than clues to uncover and $100,000 in prizes to win and The World’s Greatest Travelers trophy at stake. There are lives to be changed in this righteous journey.
The annual travel adventure competition that has ignited the passion of travelers from some 30 countries in their desire to experience unexpected discoveries, is indeed a most righteous journey that is helping to raise a $1 million goal for goodwill organizations like: Noble Peace Prize winning Doctors Without Borders, UNICEF, CARE, International Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity International, Global Green and the World Monuments Fund.
Fulfilling a life-long dream to tie an international travel adventure competition with goodwill, GreatEscape Foundation’s founder, William D. Chalmers, remarked: “During my two decades of global travel, I have encountered extremely dedicated people behind the wonderful works that GreatEscape2004 will benefit. We are thrilled to be able to help some great organizations that I have seen so effectively help others. Being able to give back a little something for all the amazing travel experiences and fond memories I have taken from the world, is indeed an honor.”
GreatEscape2004: The Global Scavenger Hunt will take 25 Teams of two across 4 continents and through at least ten far-flung nations over three weeks between April 16th & May 9th, 2004. “People will literally be going on a blind date with the world,” says Chalmers, travel author and the winner of a previous around-the-world race. Teams will solve riddles, unravel cryptic clues and uncover a hodgepodge of hints while visiting sacred sites, famous museums, Lost Cities and participating in cultural events. Only the most travel savvy need apply for this innovative travel adventure competition that is based on the sole premise of trusting strangers in strange lands. The entry fee is as low as $7,900 per person and includes all airfare and great hotels in each global destination. (Portions of the fee may be tax deductible; travelers are asked to please consult their tax advisor.)
Chalmers goes on to say, “We feel that it’s absolutely necessary for fellow travelers to give back, and not just take from these special places and remarkable peoples.” He adds, “These organizations we’re raising money for, and many like them, bring hope to places that are seemingly without hope. Our Teams, corporate sponsors, media partners and travel allies intend to pitch in to create a unique once-in-a-lifetime global experience and a lasting contribution to many of the peoples and places they encounter along the way.”
