World's sunniest hotel brand offers two
Solar Sun-terns a shared $10,000
payday
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Feb. 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The stars have aligned for
thrill-seekers and solar eclipse enthusiasts. Days Inn®
by Wyndham, the iconic economy hotel brand known for making days
brighter, is seeking two adventurous BFFs to take on 2024's hottest
gig: the Solar Sun-ternship. One 'sun and moon' duo will embark on
an unforgettable journey to witness the 2024 total solar eclipse
from a private helicopter experience, giving an unparalleled
vantage point of the path of totality. The twist? Capture their
experience with photo and video content to share with Days Inn
guests on social media. Best of all, the coveted job comes with a
$5,000 payday for each Sun-tern.
"Since 2018, our Sun-ternship program has helped
travel-obsessed photographers Seize the Days® with
once-in-a-lifetime travel opportunities. This year, we're elevating
the job to new heights, giving not just one but two Sun-terns a
front-row seat to capture and share the magic of the
eclipse."
- John Henderson,
President, Days Inn by Wyndham
The Sun, Moon, and Days Inn
Winding its way across
200-miles, traversing five North American time zones like a
celestial ribbon, the path of totality – the area where the solar
eclipse is most visible – crosses through major cities like
San Antonio, Little Rock, Cleveland, and Montreal. A rare celestial spectacle, the
April 8 event is a once in a
generation occurrence, with the next total eclipse not anticipated
until 2044.
While only two lucky individuals will claim the role of
Sun-terns, between one and four million Americans are estimated to
travel for the Eclipse. Thankfully, Days Inn and its
sister-brands across the Wyndham family offer a combined 1,200+
hotels with unrivaled viewing spots across North America—meaning
anyone who wants a chance to witness the cosmic marvel, has the
chance to do so. A list of top viewing locations is available
at www.wyndhamhotels.com/eclipse.
