Marriott Bonvoy introduces “Travel Roulette”

In a world where every moment seems meticulously planned, many travelers are seeking more spontaneity and excitement. As a result, the social media trend “vacation roulette,” where families or friends embrace the unknown and turn travel decision making into a game by eliminating destinations until one remains, has gone viral, reflecting a broader desire for new experiences. In fact, a recent survey¹ by Marriott Bonvoy reveals that more than 2 in 5 (43%) Americans will book an unplanned trip less than two months out and/or will opt for a trip to a randomly selected destination this year. To celebrate this spirit of adventure, and in honor of reaching 1 million hotel rooms in the U.S., Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International, Inc.’s portfolio of hotel brands and experiences, is launching Marriott Bonvoy Roulette, a fun digital experience that turns travel planning into a game of chance.

The launch of Marriott Bonvoy Roulette comes on the heels of Marriott’s announcement of the 1-millionth room in its U.S. portfolio with the opening of Canal House of Georgetown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. With over 6,000 properties across the U.S. and now 1 million hotel rooms, Marriott Bonvoy is uniquely positioned to take the excitement of spontaneous travel to the next level with Marriott Bonvoy Roulette, allowing members to spin a digital wheel and discover travel opportunities at hotel brands across the country.

Those who spin the wheel will be automatically entered for a chance to win the grand prize of 1 million Marriott Bonvoy points and a four-night stay at the Canal House of Georgetown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, in celebration of the milestone. With 1 million Marriott Bonvoy points in the bank, the winning member can explore Marriott Bonvoy’s extraordinary collection of hotels and experiences and redeem stays, once-in-a-lifetime experiences through Marriott Bonvoy Moments, immersive local adventures with Marriott Bonvoy Tours & Activities, or even a new bed and other hotel products through Marriott Bonvoy Boutiques.
