Vacation Resorts: Artisans and Travel in Mexico

Travel the World Online and Win a Chance to Do It for Real with The REA Group

Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) June 2, 2008 -- The REA Group, which operates the world's only global online network of property websites - including Australia's no.1 real estate site, realestate.com.au - is offering the chance for four lucky winners to travel the world for free. The property portal giant is running its first global online competition in which four participants will win AUD $10,000 each to travel around the world, thanks to online travel website partner, Expedia.

The competition calls for aspiring globe-trotters to visit www.reagroupworldtour.com Once there, they will take a virtual tour of the globe via the REA Group websites collecting ten stamps in their digital passports with stopovers including Australia, New Zealand, UK, Belgium, Dubai, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy and Luxembourg.

Managing director and CEO of the REA Group Simon Baker commented, "The REA Group is entrenched in Australia as the operator of the country's most popular residential website realestate.com.au. But what many don't realise is that we operate the world's only global network of real estate websites."

"To celebrate our unique global positioning, we are giving away a well deserved holiday to four of our busy property-seekers, just for taking a short online journey of the REA Group sites around the world," Mr. Baker continued.

The first group-wide promotion aims to raise awareness to consumers and agents of the REA Group's global profile.

"These days it would be naïve to think that the property market is restricted by country boarders; we live in a transient time where people area able to move much more freely across the globe be it for work, lifestyle or otherwise. The REA Group is actively facilitating both agents and consumers into this market by providing a global network to list and find the property that's right for you, where ever that may be in the world," Mr. Baker said.

The competition opens on the 2nd June and will run for the whole month. For your chance to travel the world with the REA Group, go to www.reagroupworldtour.com.
