HYATT RESORTS SEARCHES FOR A KID JOURNALIST TO GO

R16;ON ASSIGNMENTâ€™ AT CAMP HYATT

R11; Kids aged six to 12 can enter to win a trip to a Hyatt Resort

to report on their Camp Hyatt travel experiences â€“

CHICAGO (July 23, 2009) â€“ Taking a scenic nature walk to discover local animals and plants, going on a scavenger hunt for arrowheads or sharkâ€™s teeth, hula dancing and building sand castles, plus learning about the environment and recycling can all be part of an adventure wish list for a young journalist. At Hyatt Resorts kids can experience these and many more fun and educational activities through the Camp Hyatt program. To give kids an authentic destination experience, introduce them to the Camp Hyatt program and spark their journalist minds, Hyatt Resorts is searching for a kid journalist to go â€˜On Assignmentâ€™ and report his/her experiences on www.camphyatt.com.

Between July 23, 2009 and September 4, 2009, children ages six to 12 can visit www.camphyattonassignment.com and their parent or legal guardian can upload the childâ€™s original one- to two-minute video describing why the child is the perfect Camp Hyatt reporter, which Hyatt Resort location and Camp Hyatt activities they would enjoy most and why. No purchase is required to enter. One grand prize winner with the most creative and entertaining video will win a 6-day/5-night trip for them and three guests to enjoy authentic hospitality at a Hyatt Resort of their choice in the US or Caribbean and experience a week of Camp Hyatt.

R20;Camp Hyatt is committed to teaching children about cultural and environmental appreciation in ways that are fun and engaging,â€ said Amy Curtis-McIntyre, senior vice president, brand communication, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts. â€œThe Camp Hyatt â€˜On Assignmentâ€™ contest is an opportunity to encourage kids to display their creativity with the chance for them to enjoy their very own Camp Hyatt experience and share it with others.â€

Known as the pioneer of kids programs Camp Hyatt offers children, aged three to 12, fun and culturally authentic activities at participating Hyatt Resorts in North America. In addition to the indigenous atmosphere each Hyatt Resort offers, Camp Hyatt features exclusive National Geographic Kidsâ€™ activities adapted to each participating resort location, with a focus on teaching kids about animals, culture, recycling, and water in ways that are fun, interactive, and age appropriate. No two Camp Hyatt programs are the same, with each offering an authentic sense of place with experiences inspired by the cultural traditions and natural environment of each Hyatt Resort. For additional information, including the complete terms and conditions of the contest, visit www.camphyattonassignment.com.

National Geographic Launches New Travel Sites

nationalgeographic.com - specifically for the section with travel info so I wanted to send you some links to what we've got on there that might interest your readers.

First - Nat Geo Traveler mag put together some "Drives of a Lifetime" (both domestic and international) which I think are pretty good: http://traveler.nationalgeographic.com/drives - domestic drives might be a good mention for something to do for Labor Day.

Also good for Labor Day, our guide to the National Parks: http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/places/parks/index.html - which includes a quiz on weird and wild animals of national parks (people always like quizzes for whatever reason), America's Ultimate Parks of '09, Threatened Sanctuaries and information on free national park weekends.

Lastly, Traveler mag put together the 50 Places of a Lifetime: http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/places/parks/index.html - lists always do well with people.

Travelers Giving Back™ Program Makes It Easy to Make a Difference 22 Sep 08

Boulder, CO, USA - More than ever travelers are willing to give back and support the destinations they are visiting, but their question is always — how? Sustainable Travel International (STI) is launching its Travelers Giving Back™ initiative today to answer that question. Offered in conjunction with philanthropic partner, GlobalGiving, STI’s program connects travel companies and their guests to more than 500 pre-screened grassroots charity projects around the world.

"There is an increase in the number of conscientious consumers who want to protect and positively impact the destinations they visit," said STI president Brian T. Mullis. "Our new Giving Back program is designed to make this as easy as possible for them, and ensure their contributions are truly going back to the destination."

"GlobalGiving is very pleased to support STI in offering this innovative program," said John Hecklinger, GlobalGiving’s Business Development Director. "Through this partnership, travelers will now have more options for supporting effective solutions to problems facing communities that they visit."

STI's Travelers Giving Back program allows travel companies to offer a range of services to guests, from gift cards to online donations that benefit pre-screened sustainable charity projects in destinations all over the world.

Gift Cards

• Perfect for events or guest thank you programs.

• 100% biodegradable and 100% tax-deductible (U.S.-based donors only).

• No fees other than nominal printing costs and the card’s value.

Online Donation Engines

• Assemble a list of pre-screened projects featured on a custom or standard online donation engine that meshes seamlessly with any existing Web site.

• Ideal for those who are trying to enhance their Web sites and those who want to brand the charitable component.

• Donations can come from guests, as a percentage of revenue, as a customer levy (e.g., $1 per booking) or as a voluntary opt-in or opt-out program.

Project Evaluation and Outreach Support

• STI assesses a company’s existing giving programs and undertakes the necessary due diligence to ensure that any given project is credible and achieves the desired results.

• Projects can then be featured on the STI Web site, on its partners’ Web sites, and through its clients’ online donation engines to attract more support.

STI is focused on attracting financial and in-kind support for sustainable development-oriented projects that contribute to the environment and local people, and support community self-reliance. To ensure the best results possible, each individual project is reviewed and vetted internally or through other credible third-party organizations.

"Our goal is to help travel companies integrate giving back programs into their operational systems," said Peter D. Krahenbuhl, STI vice president, "because we know that is what their guests are looking for right now. It has to be easy and authentic for the company and its customers. That is what STI supports."
