The pandemic has brought with it a drastic reduction in international travel, so Walkers and Doritos have announced a holiday contest campaign in the UK to encourage Britons to take off on a trip. The campaign will see the brands giving away 12 holiday vouchers that include 11 worth £500 and one worth £2,000, which will be given away every day until May 23, 2022. Winners can redeem the vouchers with easyJet until the end of 2022, with holidays needing to be taken by October 2023.
Walkers Marketing Manage Katherine Cook commented on the new holiday contest campaign saying, "We are thrilled to be bringing together our two biggest PepsiCo brands and partner with Easyjet holidays to offer the British public the chance to win more than 1,000 package holidays. With holidays to win every hour [10 am-10 pm] for 90 days, this is by far one of our biggest and most exciting on-pack promotions ever. Our hope is that the holiday campaign inspires the British public to leave the adversity of the past two years behind."
