THE Chilean Embassy in collaboration with Copa Airlines is offering Guyanese a chance to win two airline tickets to Chile as Chile and Guyana forge ahead with their bilateral relations.
While speaking to Guyana Chronicle, Consul of the Chilean Embassy in Georgetown Carolina Faune explained that in order to qualify for this promotion, Guyanese must first ‘like’ the embassy’s Facebook page- Embajada De Chile en Guyana (or found under the tag: @EmbaChileGuyana).
Next, persons are required to comment under a recently uploaded video of Chile, why they would like to visit the country.
The consul highlighted that the 10 best comments will be shortlisted and then a poll will be carried out right on the embassy’s page where persons will vote for the best comment.
The best comment will secure the two tickets and the winner will then be invited to the Marriott Hotel next Wednesday, March 8, for the presentation of the tickets.
“We want to be transparent,” Faune underscored.
This promotion, according to Faune, is an attempt by the embassy to bolster relations between Guyana and Chile.
“We want to engage and promote the strong relationship Guyana and Chile has been having,” the diplomat said, adding that “We want to open doors from Guyana so that tourists can travel between both countries.”
Faune mentioned that Guyanese are not familiar with Chileans and Chile, and vice versa, and the promotion is a great opportunity to showcase Guyana as a tourism destination.
However, there are a few rules and disclaimers to this promotion.
It was highlighted that the tickets are non-transferable and must be used within one year from March 8, 2017. Travel is permitted on flights operated by Copa Airlines only; travel is permitted on code share flight and certain black out dates apply: June 30-August 31, November 15-December 31. Also, the route of the ticket is: GEO-Panama-Chile /Chile- Panama-GEO.
The prize only includes the two airline tickets and the winner, who must be residing in Guyana at the time of participation, must pay for the associated taxes.
