“Tour de Suisse” is launched
September 16, 2008
We are very proud to announce that we have launched “Tour de Suisse”, a contest seeking to find the best touristic tours and activities in Switzerland. You may find it here !
Tour de Suisse offers to everyone living in Switzerland to post innovative and original tours that allow visitors to experience the country from a different perspective than when traveling on the standard touristic paths. The contest runs until November 15th and everyone can vote on the tours through an application that we designed on Facebook.
Facebook is a terrific social community that allows users to integrate APIs on their platform and make use of the powerful social graph. In our case users may create tours and then invite their friends to vote for them using Facebook. Once a friend cast a vote, the friends’ frind will see this in his/her newsfeed and may also vote for the tour. Thus, within few cycles, a creative and convincing entry to the contest may rise to the top of the competition and win one of our amazing prizes.
On November 15th midnight, the top 20 (with most votes) will qualify for the final round. In the final round a pannel of experts decides, who will take home the prizes and who is going to win the “Tour de Suisse”.
The GetYourGuide team is very much looking forward a lot to the next 2 months and we hope that the users have as much fun participating in the contest, as we had creating it. We believe it is a great opportunity for everyone in Switzerland to cause some awareness for the beauty and the endless opportunities in the country.
