Launching today, Marriott International offers fully vaccinated Australian's the chance to win a long awaited stay at 28 Marriott Bonvoy Hotels and Resorts across Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. It's been too long without seeing loved ones and it's time to start thinking about Australian's travelling again.

Marriott understands the importance of connection with friends and family, and getting vaccinated is an essential step towards bringing Australian's back together through their love of travel. The dream of the next holiday destination is set to become a reality as Marriott gears up to lead the industry's recovery through a competition that travellers will not want to miss.

Sean Hunt, Marriott International Vice President for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific (ANZPAC) said, “It's vital that we support and incentivise Australians to get vaccinated so we can all start travelling again as soon as it is safe to do so. In line with the Federal and State Government national vaccination rollout, Marriott's vaccine incentive program is designed to stimulate economic recovery for our industry. As we head into the Christmas holidays, we want Australian's to be able to travel to see family and experience travel across our nation again.”

Marriott is offering Australian's that are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, the chance to go in the running to win 1 of 5 Ultimate Marriott Bonvoy Packages, a 1-night stay at each of our participating Marriott Bonvoy Hotels & Resorts in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and New Caledonia, to keep you travelling over the next year. 5 winners will get to experience them all! A whole month's worth of travel with Marriot Bonvoy once borders open.

Existing Marriott Bonvoy members will also be able to redeem their current points balance for food and beverage, and other hotel amenities including luxe spa treatments during their stay.

“Marriott has also undertaken a suite of measures and incentives to support our Associates during the pandemic, including priority access to vaccinations and scheduling flexibility to allow our staff to be vaccinated along with providing financial support and vaccination funding in Fiji and Samoa, to ensure our workforce is cared for and ready to return to work,” said Sean Hunt.

Anyone who has been vaccinated can enter, it's easy. In 25 words or less please tell Marriott what travelling means to you, once you've done that sign up to Marriott Bonvoy and upload you COVID -19 certificate. Good Luck!
