Posts Tagged ‘Holiday Competitions’

Since Tenerife Magazine was launched, we’ve been lucky enough to be able to offer some great holidays as competition prizes. Not that the competition is in any way difficult to enter, all anyone has to do is to become a fan of Tenerife Magazine on Facebook.

Our competition this month is a beauty, a week’s holiday at the lovely Sands Beach Resort in Costa Teguise. Unfortunately I haven’t been to the resort myself and being involved with Tenerife Magazine, and therefore not eligible to enter the competition, that’s not likely to change in the near future.

Lanzarote is obviously a popular holiday destination – just check out the pictures of Sands Beach and tell me that the idea of cooling down in that lagoon doesn’t appeal – but something I learned recently was that it’s also a popular destination for athletes. I wasn’t surprised to learn that it was a favourite with surfers, kiteboarders and divers, but I had no idea that it was a top hot spot with professional runners as well.

It might seem odd that a Tenerife Magazine has a holiday in Lanzarote as a prize, but many people who live in the Canary Islands actually take holidays on other Canary Islands. Initially I thought that was a bit odd; almost like staying over at a neighbour’s house. However, the Canary Islands all have very different personalities and scenery, so a visit to another island can be like a visit to another country.

All of which means that it won’t just be Northern Europeans who are hoping to win Tenerife Magazine’s latest competition which closes on 2nd September, there will be a load of Canary Islanders with fingers crossed as well.

Whatever your nationality, good luck to all who enter.

Hit a button and you may be on your way to a sun-drenched holiday.  It really is as simple at that.

Over at Tenerife Magazine, WimPen leisure have very generously offered a week’s accommodation at their lovely El Marques resort in Los Gigantes as this month’s great prize.

All you have to do to enter the draw which takes place on the 2nd of April 2010 is to become a fan of Tenerife Magazine on Facebook.

So let’s just weigh this up for a moment before you go ahead and do something rash.

You can either become a fan of Tenerife Magazine and:

  • Get to read original, interesting and up to the minute articles about Tenerife.
  • Be automatically entered into a draw which might just end up with you prone on a sun-bed sipping a cocktail in the sunniest spot on Tenerife in the El Marques resort underneath the gaze of the stunning Los Gigantes cliffs as the sun sets behind La Gomera on the horizon.
  • And then be automatically entered for other great prizes.

Or you could do nothing…and have none of the above.

It’s a simple choice really.

The competition accompanying the launch of Tenerife’s first online magazine,  Tenerife Magazine, is so good that a friend’s 20 year old nephew didn’t tell any of his friends, or even his family, about it in the hope that the fewer people who enter it, the better his chances of winning.

Anyone who becomes a fan of Tenerife Magazine on Facebook between now and the end of November automatically is entered into a draw to win a week’s accommodation for up to 4 people at the sun drenched Sands Beach Resort in Lanzarote.

Have a look at the picture and tell me that you don’t fancy the idea of reclining on those golden sands beside that crystal mini lagoon. Every time I imagine myself stretching out on the third sun lounger from the left I have to remind myself that as I’m involved with TM, I can’t enter the competition… damn.

We’ve been really excited by the launch of Tenerife Magazine for a number of reasons. One, we’re working alongside other people we’ve admired for a long time like author and travel writer Joe Cawley, freelance writer Colin Kirby, SEO expert and blogger Julie Hume and the man that anyone on Tenerife with a business should be breaking down his door to get advice from, John Beckley, director of Sorted Sites.

The other thing that excites us about Tenerife Magazine is that it’s Tenerife’s first English language online magazine and it’s completely independent. This means that opinions will be honest and no punches will be pulled when it comes to views, reviews or anything else for that matter. And all the articles will be 100% original with a strong experiential element; not something that can be taken for granted these days.

It’s also ecologically friendly. No squirrels’ houses were demolished, or trees hacked down to make paper for Tenerife Magazine, so that’s a nice little bonus.

Anyway, back to the competition. This is so ridiculously easy to enter that only someone with a mission to deny themselves pleasure in life wouldn’t bother.
