"Best Of Summer" Travel Photo Contest

Los Angeles-based Tours4Fun is taking entries for their "Best of Summer" travel photo contest. Photos must be originals and of landscapes, not people, and prizes include a shopping tour of Niagara Falls, a Washington, DC tour, or Grand Canyon helicopter or airplane highlights tours. The entry period begins today and voting will start on September 1st. Winners will be announced in October.

The contest is being promoted as an opportunity for travelers and tourists to submit their best photographs and share their unique views of the wonders they have seen. It is hoped that sharing these photos will not only benefit the winners but offer a chance for all to see locations they may not have visited before.

Tours4Fun is an industry leader in travel that specializes in tour packages to North American and European cities, landmarks, and national parks. Last month they introduced their "Circle Line" European tour packages of Western, Central and Eastern Europe. Tours4Fun also offers affordable tour packages to Asia, Australia, Africa, South America and the Middle East.

The "Best of Summer" travel photo contest is the latest in a series of incentive contests that have been offered by Tours4Fun. In order to be eligible, contestants must register and each vote will be credited to a specific email address. Only three votes per email will be allowed. The deadline for final votes to be cast will be September 30th.

"By offering North American tour packages as prizes we hope to spark a renewed interest in travel within the United States," said Maggie Lang, Co-Founder and Product Development, Tours4Fun, Webeez, Inc. "The Department of the Interior has done their part by offering fee-free admission weekends to our national parks this summer. This is our way to keep the ball rolling into the Fall."

North American numbers are already rising with increased admissions at the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the American side of Niagara Falls. Travel to Washington, DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York is also up with many Americans choosing not to stay home for vacation this year. This contest should help to keep those numbers rising.
