“And the hits just keep on coming”… Global Connections, Inc. (GCI) has shared Global Discovery Vacations members favorite road trip play lists that range from classics to indie rock.
According to Corey Thibodeaux, online content manager for GCI, “Music is one of those art forms that permeates every aspect of our lives from entertainment to exercise to ambiance. And travel is no stranger to music, with many artists drawing inspirations from their time on the road or in memories of home. We started sharing some of our staff favorites and members were inspired to send in their own favorites. We rewarded some of our member contributions with a set of Global head phones.”
Parmi les choix musicaux mondiaux, citons «On the Road Again» de Willie Nelson, «Ramblin 'Man» d'Allman Brothers, «I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)» de The Proclaimers, «Holiday Road» de Lyndsay Buckingham et Johnny Cash faisant «I» J'ai été partout »pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns.
Other suggestions from the Global staff for great tunes to hit the road were: Red Hot Chile Peppers – “Around the World,” OneRepublic’s “Good Life,” Lissie’s “Wild West” and Mumford and Sons’ “Hopeless Wanderer.”
“Our entries were all over the map, figuratively and literally,” said Corey. “Global member’s play lists included artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Jimmy Buffet, Don Williams, The Beach Boys and Alice Cooper. Quite eclectic!”
Member engagement contests and social media participation are sources of pride for GCI. The musical suggestions sent by members were filled with their enthusiasm for vacationing and traveling with Global. The social media team was flooded with messages such as these throughout the Road Trip Play List promotion:
«Lors d'un récent voyage de trois jours sur la route, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Rob Zombie et The Doors ont joué pour naviguer sur les deux voies de camions, d'autres voitures et de beaux paysages du Michigan au Texas.
- Larry C
Les chansons de Zac Brown Band me donnent envie d'aller à la plage avec Global Discovery Vacations:
'Wishin' j'étais genou dans l'eau quelque part!
J'ai le ciel bleu, la brise qui souffle dans mes cheveux, le seul souci dans le monde est que la marée atteindra ma chaise.
Esprit en vacances permanentes,
L'océan est mon seul médicament
Je souhaite que ma condition ne disparaisse jamais.
Je voyage uniquement dans des endroits avec de l'eau. En route pour Cape Cod en octobre avec GDV.
- Laura K.
«Avec notre grande famille, nous nous rendons à la plupart des destinations de Global Discovery Vacations. Certains de nos favoris sont «Can't Stop the Feeling», «Shake It Off», «Lost Boy», «Girls Just Want to Have Fun». Ils nous préparent pour tout le plaisir! »
- Dean R.
“Our members are a great bunch of people and we love finding out more about who they are, what they like doing on vacation and what they listen to,” says Corey. The Play List promotion was one of our more popular events and we’ll add this to our list of ongoing programs.”
