10,000 Free Round-Trip Tickets to Japan
If you’ve ever wanted to visit Japan, this may be your chance. In a desperate attempt to lure tourists back to a country plagued by radiation fears and constant earthquakes, the Japan Tourism Agency‘s proposed an unprecedented campaign – 10,000 free roundtrip tickets. The catch is, you need to publicize your trip on blogs and social media sites.
The tourism agency says it plans to open a website to solicit applicants interested in the free tickets. Would-be visitors will have to detail in writing their travel plans in Japan, and explain what they hope to get out of the trip. Successful applicants would pay for their own accommodation and meals. They would also be required to write a review their travel experiences, and post it online.“We are hoping to get highly influential blogger-types, and others who can spread the word that Japan is a safe place to visit,” said Kazuyoshi Sato, with the agency.
Tumblr meetup in Japan?
This is pretty damn sad, but I bet some really cool ideas could come out of this opportunity. If you have one, post it in the comments.
I’ll start: what if you brought only $100 and tried to get all the way across the country of Japan by relying on the kindness of strangers to give you rides/food/shelter.
