Dream Job Alert: Days Inn by Wyndham Seeks Suntern Looking to Make Up for Year of Missed Travel

PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Calling all wanderlust seekers! Days Inn® by Wyndham is back offering summer's hottest gig: the coveted Sunternship. The iconic economy hotel brand is looking to hire one adventure-seeker eager to make up for a year of lost travels by taking on the role of Suntern and helping uncovering America's sunniest attractions.  

With travel being one of the main sources of motivation this year, it's no surprise that America's youth are choosing to take a step back and reclaim summer '21 with sun-soaked experiences outside of the living room. A recent survey found that as many as 22% of college students recently took a full or partial gap year¹. With travel restrictions easing, many are now looking to summer as their chance to come out of a year-long travel hibernation. Luckily, Days Inn wants everyone to Seize the Days®, and this year's "Suntern" will be tasked with packing their bags for a two-week, cross-country summer jaunt, inspiring other sun chasers with the ultimate gap year bucket list.

"For over 50 years we've made it our mission to help guests make the most out of their travels, and after more than a year of being confined to the four corners of our homes, that mission feels even more important than ever" said John Henderson, brand leader and president of operations, Days Inn by Wyndham. "Whether it's skydiving in Seattle, hiking through Yellowstone, or parasailing in Daytona Beach, we want our Suntern to have a summer they'll remember forever."
