“And the hits just keep on coming”… Global Connections, Inc. (GCI) has shared Global Discovery Vacations members favorite road trip play lists that range from classics to indie rock.
According to Corey Thibodeaux, online content manager for GCI, “Music is one of those art forms that permeates every aspect of our lives from entertainment to exercise to ambiance. And travel is no stranger to music, with many artists drawing inspirations from their time on the road or in memories of home. We started sharing some of our staff favorites and members were inspired to send in their own favorites. We rewarded some of our member contributions with a set of Global head phones.”
Le scelte musicali globali includevano "On the Road Again" di Willie Nelson, "Ramblin' Man" di Allman Brothers, "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" dei Proclaimers, "Holiday Road" di Lyndsay Buckingham e Johnny Cash in "I' sono stato ovunque” per citarne alcuni.
Other suggestions from the Global staff for great tunes to hit the road were: Red Hot Chile Peppers – “Around the World,” OneRepublic’s “Good Life,” Lissie’s “Wild West” and Mumford and Sons’ “Hopeless Wanderer.”
“Our entries were all over the map, figuratively and literally,” said Corey. “Global member’s play lists included artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Jimmy Buffet, Don Williams, The Beach Boys and Alice Cooper. Quite eclectic!”
Member engagement contests and social media participation are sources of pride for GCI. The musical suggestions sent by members were filled with their enthusiasm for vacationing and traveling with Global. The social media team was flooded with messages such as these throughout the Road Trip Play List promotion:
"Durante un recente viaggio on the road di tre giorni, ho avuto Alice Cooper, Kiss, Rob Zombie e The Doors che giocavano per percorrere le due corsie di camion, altre auto e uno splendido scenario dal Michigan al Texas."

Le canzoni di Zac Brown Band mi fanno venire voglia di andare in spiaggia con Global Discovery Vacations:
'Wishin' ero fino alle ginocchia nell'acqua da qualche parte!
Ho il cielo azzurro, la brezza che soffia il vento tra i miei capelli, l'unica preoccupazione al mondo è che la marea raggiunga la mia sedia.
Pensa a una vacanza permanente,
L'oceano è la mia unica medicina
Desiderando che la mia condizione non vada mai via.'
Viaggio solo in posti con acqua. Dirigendosi a Cape Cod in ottobre con GDV.

“Con la nostra grande famiglia, guidiamo verso la maggior parte delle destinazioni di Global Discovery Vacations. Alcuni dei nostri preferiti sono "Can't Stop the Feeling", "Shake It Off", "Lost Boy", "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". Ci preparano per tutto il divertimento!
– Decano R.
“Our members are a great bunch of people and we love finding out more about who they are, what they like doing on vacation and what they listen to,” says Corey. The Play List promotion was one of our more popular events and we’ll add this to our list of ongoing programs.”
