Where's Wilson? Tourism Fiji Giveaway at St Kilda Beach
Keen for an island getaway? Rise early and welcome Wilson the volleyball to shore to score yourself a tropical escape.
Overview
Remember Wilson — the volleyball from Cast Away? Turns out, since it slipped off Chuck's raft, the poor ball has spent the last 25 years traversing the seas. But don't be too sorry; Wilson is about to make land at St Kilda Beach with something special to mark the end of its journey.
At least that's the story Tourism Fiji has concocted for its latest campaign, featuring a sweet giveaway inspired by cinematic events. Kicking off at 6am on Thursday, July 24, you only have to find one of three Wilson volleyballs washed ashore to win a sweet getaway to the island paradise.
If you snag one, each ball will invite a handful of lucky winners to claim a Fijian escape by scanning its QR code. Though Wilson's journey has been long and arduous, giving away a top-notch holiday surely makes up for it. But if you miss out, spend $250 online or in-store at Wilson's Sporting Goods to automatically go in the running for a free holiday.
"Wilson's story is one that has stuck with so many for 25 years," says Tourism Fiji CEO Brent Hill. "So when we realised it had been a quarter century since he was last seen drifting out at sea, we thought what better time to give Wilson the ending he deserves?"
