Transitions Optical Kicks-Off Voting Contest for "Top 10 Sights to See" in Dallas as Part of Multi-City "Sightseeing City Tour"

WHAT:  

To prepare for the next stop on its 2012 multi-city tour, Transitions Optical, in conjunction with the Town of Addison, along with input from "The Gutsy Traveler" and national travel expert Marybeth Bond, has compiled  the "Top 25 Sights to See" in Dallas at www.seemoresights.com – and is asking travel enthusiasts – tourists and Dallas locals alike – to vote on which of those attractions and things to do they think make up the Top 10 Sights to See in the Dallas area. By voting, you will be entered to win an exciting trip for two to New York City. 

The final Top 10 Sights to See will be revealed at the Dallas event – and videos featuring Marybeth Bond, the "Official Sightseer," sharing additional "insider" information about each of the Sights will be available online following the event.

WHY:       

As the Official Sponsor of Sightseeing, Transitions Optical is planning its Sightseeing City Tour this year with stops in Miami, Dallas, Seattle, Chicago, and New Orleans. Leading up to the Dallas stop, which is taking place on May 18 – 20 as part of Taste Addison, Transitions Optical is asking for tourists and Dallas locals to vote on the Top 10 Sights to See which will be revealed in conjunction with the event. In addition to voting for the Top 10 Sights to See, while on-site at Taste Addison, Transitions Optical will be inviting attendees to have their photos taken at a kiosk against the scenic background of their choice with the chance to enter their photo into the Sight of the Day Photo Contest for the chance to win a grand prize 10-day trip to the Galapagos Islands. While there, Transitions Optical and partners Essilor and 1st Eye Care will distribute materials which include more information about each of the Top 10 Sights to See, healthy vision tips and coupon offers for eyewear; as part of the experience, attendees will also have the opportunity to receive complimentary vision screenings.

Transitions Optical is committed to raising awareness about the importance of healthy sight – whether traveling to exotic places or spending time in your own backyard, these everyday moments are sightseeing opportunities. Taking care of your eyes by getting regular, comprehensive eye exams and wearing proper eyewear that enhances your vision in the short-term and protects the health of your eyes in the long-term can allow you to see your best to enjoy the everyday "sightseeing" moments in your life.
