Fairfield by Marriott, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, has announced a unique opportunity for travel enthusiasts and storytellers. The hotel chain is launching a search for its first-ever ‘Road Trip Reporter’, who will embark on a fully sponsored 30-day journey across Japan to create content about the country’s lesser-known attractions.
Open to passionate travellers worldwide, the chosen applicant will enjoy a 30-day “work trip,” exploring Japan’s hidden cultural and historical gems while experiencing the comfort and hospitality of Fairfield by Marriott hotels. This opportunity includes all expenses paid and entitlements valued at over $10,000.
“Japan has become one of the world’s most sought-after destinations, but beyond its bustling cities are lesser-known prefectures full of captivating attractions, culinary experiences, and untouched nature,” said John Toomey, Marriott International’s Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Asia Pacific excluding China. “Marriott Bonvoy believes in the power of travel, and we’re excited to offer the opportunity for a ‘Road Trip Reporter’ to reveal the uncharted adventures beyond Japan’s beaten paths with Fairfield by Marriott.”
The ‘Road Trip Reporter’ will travel across 14 prefectures in Japan, co-developing experiential websites and social media content for the brand’s Michi-no-Eki project. This includes food and beverage recommendations, top sights and attractions, and highlights of Fairfield by Marriott’s offerings. The one-month self-drive itinerary will be curated by local insiders from Fairfield by Marriott, featuring nostalgic excursions to Kyoto’s old towns of Kinosaki and Izushi, visits to Hiroshima’s vast flower fields and wineries in Sera, and more. Accommodations will be provided at 29 newly opened hotels located beside roadside stations known as “Michi-no-Eki,” offering the perfect rest points to explore nearby national parks, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and attractions.
Applications to become Fairfield by Marriott’s ‘Road Trip Reporter’ are open from July 15 to August 15, 2024. Interested applicants can submit their entries to roadtripreporter.fairfield@marriott.com.
