If you want to turn your next vacation into a reality TV-style adventure, consider this amazing race for ordinary travelers. Competitours was so successful last year that the company is running eight trips from May through August.
Contestants on the Amazing Race TV show race around the world, but on a Competitours adventure race you travel around four European countries for nine days on a course designed to challenge you and immerse you in the culture of the countries you visit. Each trip has a secret itinerary and participants are fed the information a half-day before each stop.
On each trip, this spring and summer, 17 teams will participate in the adventures. In a novel approach, Competitours does not ask for payment until the trip is completed. The company that puts together these complex trips believes: "We are confident that we will deliver on a thrilling, culturally immersive experience, and we want to prove that by removing any upfront risk for you." Competitours is an intriguing and reasonably priced approach to exploring the world. Did I mention that first place teams of two share $5500 or 220,000 Starwood Preferred Guest ® Starpoints®?
