Expedia Facebook Friends Can Win Trip for Six to South Korea via Expedia FriendTrips Game on Facebook


Facebook’s Largest Sweepstakes Ever Features More Than $1 Million in Luxury Travel 


Korea announced recently, that a luxury holiday to the far eastern destination for six lucky friends, is among over a million dollars worth of travel prizes that Expedia.com, the worlds leading online travel agency, is awarding to Facebook friends and is open entrants from across the globe. 

The Expedia® Friendtrips Game is the largest sweepstakes ever hosted on Facebook. The game began today and will run for six weeks. At the games conclusion, a holiday to South Korea valued up to $52,000 will be awarded to a winning entrant and five friends. 

To play, prospective world travellers merely need to become a fan of Expedias on Facebook at www.facebook.com/expedia. They will then create a virtual plane and can point that plane towards one of a series of holiday destinations. They will populate the plane with five of their Facebook friends, each of whom simply needs to fan Expedia to join. The friends are entered to win once they accept the invitation. They can also create planes of their own. 

Should a group of six friends win the trip to Korea, an extraordinary holiday awaits. They will experience the history and innovation of Korea with the help of an English-speaking guide for 5 nights and 6 days. From famous fortresses and temples, ancient artifacts in the tombs of kings, and to Andong Hahoe Village, a UNESCO World Heritage site and more will truly enlighten and inspire them.  

Participants can double and even triple their chance of winning by bringing more Facebook friends into the game. A Facebook friend on one plane can join multiple planes, or they can build different planes of their own. Once an entrant has attracted 25 friends into the Expedia FriendTrips Game, their chance of winning doubles. Should they bring 50 friends into the game, their chance of winning triples.
