NEW
YORK, Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The United
States Tour Operators Association (USTOA) launches the USTOA
"Picture Yourself In…" Sweepstakes with a chance to win a
$10,000 travel certificate that can
be used by the winner and a guest to travel to the winner's choice
of China, Colombia or Madrid,
Spain, with a USTOA member tour operator.
The sweepstakes aligns with USTOA's "Picture Yourself In…"
campaign in collaboration with Turkish Airlines, travel
insurer Crum & Forster, and destination partners China
National Tourist Office New York, Colombia the country of beauty, and Only in
Madrid, to inspire travelers to
picture themselves wearing fashions purchased in destinations they
visit, sustaining the artisans and small businesses that keep local
economies thriving.
Now open for entry, US residents ages 21 or older can enter the
USTOA "Picture Yourself In…" Sweepstakes at
ustoa.com/pictureyourselfin by completing and submitting the
official entry form, including full name, city, state, and email

"USTOA is excited to shine a light on the stylish aspects of
traveling sustainably," said Terry
Dale, president and CEO of USTOA. "When you're purposeful
about your purchases, your travel adventures live on in your
everyday life. Imagine pulling a piece from your closet and
immediately recalling the sights, rhythms, tastes, and echoes of a
foreign land. Not to mention the people you met—perhaps even the
artisans whose hands carefully crafted what you're about to
wear."
Dale continued, "This sweepstakes encourages consumers to
consider the good they can do when they shop local, not only at
home but around the world. We're proud that our tour operators
showcase authentic shopping opportunities and help travelers find
items to cherish long after they return home."
To kick off the sweepstakes in a fun and engaging way, USTOA was
on-site at Eastern Market in Detroit,
Michigan, on September 14
inviting shoppers to virtually transport themselves to China, Colombia, and Madrid, Spain, and adorn themselves in
traditional apparel via the magic of an AR (augmented reality)
Mirror, powered by ZERO10. By seeing themselves in these wonderful
destinations, wearing or carrying beautifully made things like a
Chinese Hanfu, a Spanish silk mantón, or a macramé bucket bag from
Colombia, participants were
encouraged to think about souvenir shopping in new ways.
Artisan-made wearables from around the globe are an investment that
will elicit memories and spark joy for years to come.
