With hotels in buzz-worthy destinations coast to coast—designed for every kind of vibe – five dynamic duos will claim the title of official "Days Inn-siders." Their mission? Spend a weekend together spotlighting the best a destination has to offer for the brand's social media channels. In return for awesome content, each pair will receive a $10,000 payday, plus accommodations, flights and daily travel stipend.
"In a world where group chats fade and schedules collide, Days Inn is making sure one thing stays strong – closeness. With destinations that offer everything from laid-back beach escapes to vibrant city adventures, our hotels create space for best friends to share the kind of moments that stick – and that's exactly what our Days Inn-siders will help bring to life."
– John Henderson, VP, Brand Operations, Days Inn by Wyndham
The Mission: Guaranteed Closeness
Each duo, working together, will document their ultimate "days out" experience – from must-eat bites to must-snap sights – all just steps away from their hotel door. And because no two friendships are the same, each getaway will be designed with a different kind of duo in mind, helping show other travelers that wherever you're headed, the best days out, call for a Days Inn. Whether it's a mother-daughter pair on the hunt for the best beaches or college roommates turned long-distance friends seeking adrenaline-pumping adventures, Days Inn will work with each to craft a trip that caters to their personalities and passions.
Among the types of duos Days Inn is searching for:
- Nature Nomads – From misty mornings in the Pacific Northwest, stargazing in Sedona and red rock sunsets in the Southwest, these besties feel most alive on the trail.
- Taste Makers – These besties plan their trips around flavor and flair – whether it's uncovering the best deep-dish in Chicago, food truck feasts in Austin or simply café-hopping in Portland.
- Adrenaline Junkies – Whether it's roller coasters in Orlando, zip-lining through the Smokies, or ATVing across the Utah dessert, these besties are all in for speed, heights and heart-racing fun.
- Wave Watchers – From sunrise surf sessions in Santa Monica to boardwalk strolls in Ocean City, MD, these besties are all about salt air and sandy toes.
- Culture Cravers – Live music in Nashville, museums in D.C., art walks in Santa Fe – these besties travel for soul, story and self-expression.
