9 Bloggers, 9 Resorts, 7 Destinations, 4 Days
Posted: 08/12/2010 | By: Administrator
The Paradise By Marriott resort collection throughout the Caribbean and Mexico is sending nine bloggers on a virtual press trip - and a real adventure. On August 21st, nine top U.S. and Canada based travel bloggers will board flights in their home towns and fly to one of seven tropical destinations to blog, tweet and update their status’s live from Marriott’s version of paradise.
Each blogger will experience all that their respective resort and destination have to offer – whether it be a 20 foot dive pool complete with reef at the JW Marriott Cancun or a private island at the Aruba Renaissance, they are in for four days and three nights of non-stop action. All the while these bloggers will be doing what they do best - documenting their trip through twitpics, blogging, podcasts and stories so that their followers, fans,and readers can experience the trip through all their senses, short of smelling the salty ocean and tasting the house cocktail made with local ingredients.
The #BlogParadise hashtag will unite the group on Twitter and allow spectators to follow along on their adventures and Paradise By Marriott Facebook Page will keep you updated on everyone’s blog posts.
So, without further ado, here is a list of this year’s Blog Paradise participants and the fabulous destinations they are headed (click on links to see their blogs and twitter).
