Macao  :  Conrad Macao Facebook Fan Kukhyun Kim from Korea has won a luxurious two-night stay in the Presidential Suite valued at MOP62,000 just by uploading a photo of a Conrad Macao Bear to his Facebook page and #Travelbear and tagging Conrad Macao.  The winning photo was taken against the backdrop of Hwaseong Fortress, Suwon, Korea.

Throughout August, Conrad Macao, Cotai Central invited fans to win a free luxury Macao getaway; all they had to do was upload a photo of one of the hotel’s signature bears at an iconic world famous landmark to their Facebook timeline. All photos needed to have #TravelBear and also tag Conrad Macao Facebook.

The campaign was a great success and reached more than 568,000 fans, 8,000 likes and 160 shares.

Conrad Macao’s collection of signature bears have become collectors’ items since the hotel first opened in April 2012.  In addition to the signature gold bear that guests receive when they stay at the hotel, there is also an exclusive collection of four bears that is produced every year; this year’s collection includes a Valentine’s Bear, World Cup Bear, a Pink Bear which will be launched in September to raise funds for breast cancer awareness, along with an exquisite bejeweled Christmas Bear which will be unveiled in December.

“We were overwhelmed by the response to our #Travelbear campaign.  Our bear travelled the world and popped up in front of iconic world landmarks in Australia, USA, London, Paris, Brussels, Greece, Hong Kong, China and Korea.  We knew our hotel guests were world travellers and now we know our Conrad bears are as well; we will certainly continue the campaign in 2015 to see where he visits next,” said general manager, Bede Barry.

Photos were judged by a team of hotel executives based upon the creativity of the photo, along with the number of shares and likes it received on Facebook
