Eighteen different destinations around the world based on a diverse array of holiday themes are part of Accor's new online contest. Once participants register on the website they instantly become eligible to win one of the dream trips. The more friends, relatives, and colleagues a contestant signs up - the better the chance to win.

The Paris grand prize includes return flights for two people and four nights accommodation at the stunning Sofitel Arc de Triomphe, ideally located on one of the quiet streets in the Golden Triangle. The famed hotel is only a stone's throw away from the Champs Elysées and the Arc de Triomphe. It is also close to the world's leading fashion boutiques in the French capital's business and leisure district.
       
Focusing on those in love, a romantic getaway can be won to Vietnam, Thailand or Bali, where sensual scenery, five-star service, and intimate candlelit dinners await.

For those in tune with nature, participants can escape the city with a holiday at one of three Accor tropical resort retreats. Winners will get to see the rugged mountains and lush jungles of Chiang Mai in Thailand, or the deserted beaches and stunning coastlines on the Indonesian islands of Bali and Lombok.

Golf is also a travel theme at Accor's magnificent Vietnam, Thailand and China-based courses. Manicured greens, lush fairways and challenging layouts make up Asia's world-class courses. Designed by renowned international architects and golfing greats, Asia's pristine courses are always set in exotic locales.
