#BookingHero social media competition celebrates unsung hospitality professionals
20/11/2017 by WiT

At one time or another during your travels you may have come across a hotel employee who has gone out of the way to fulfil a last-minute request, or the concierge who gets you the hard-to-buy concert ticket.

Want to recognise such a dedicated professional?

Well, Booking.com is offering you the opportunity to do so. To celebrate the exceptional personal contributions these individuals make on a daily basis, the company has launched the Booking Heroes competition with a chance for one hospitality professional to win €25,000 (US$29,440) to spend on Booking.com.

To nominate a Booking Hero just share their stories on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter using the #BookingHero hashtag, and tag @bookingcom. Also include the name of the property on Booking.com, the Hero’s position at the property and why you’re nominating your Hero.

Booking.com will choose the three most exceptional stories of accommodation partners going above and beyond the call of duty to create unique and outstanding experiences for travellers.

One lucky Hero and the customer who nominated them will each win €25,000 to spend on Booking.com. The two runners-up and their nominating customers will each win €5,000 in  travel credit.

“In the run-up to our annual Guest Review Awards, which recognise properties for the outstanding guest experiences they provide, we also want to honour the actual individual people behind the scenes who make the magic happen day in and day out: the unsung hospitality heroes,” said Peter Verhoeven, global director of partner Services at  Booking.com

It is also the company’s way to thank its partners for delivering these extraordinary travel experiences, as well as to share their inspiring stories, he added.

Nominations for the competition close on November 30, with winners to be announced in January 2018. Full details here.
