Star Alliance: Give someone the world

05 Oct 2016  2037 | World Travel News

FRANKFURT Star Alliance is offering two round-the-world tickets for a good cause and is inviting members of the public to decide which of the six shortlisted nominees should be selected to travel the world with a companion.

Each nominee was put forward by one of the travel bloggers who recently completed their own Round-the World-trip with Star Alliance.

With a brief to select an individual or charity “deserving” of a Round-the-World trip, the bloggers researched and proposed individuals who had impressed them, and could  serve as a source of inspiration to others.
