The Contest
Aspire wants to hear from all U.S.-based hotel and resort properties offering girlfriend getaway packages for its national ranking of the top 20 girlfriend experiences for 2008.

Properties of any size and location in the United States are encouraged to provide information on their best girlfriend getaway packages.

This exclusive list of top women-only getaways will be promoted nationally and featured on Aspire's Web site, www.aspiremarketing.com, and www.givetoyourself.com, a Web site for women providing information on top girlfriend getaway packages from around the country.

Aspire and AAA Worldwide Travel performed research on the girlfriend getaway market and uncovered this once emerging trend has become a $6 billion dollar segment. While these trips continue to grow in popularity and 40 percent of U.S. women plan to take a women-only vacation soon, most hotels aren't capturing this new blue ocean, according to Aspire CEO and Chief Inspiration Officer Renie Cavallari.

Even during these challenging times, women want to get away together and a property doesn't have to be a fancy destination to tap into this growing market, Cavallari said. The primary reasons for women getting away are to bond with friends and leave their responsibilities at home to “refuel” themselves.

Please provide up to 800 words of a girlfriend getaway package and representative photos to contest@aspiremarketing.com
or by mail to:

Aspire.
