Pro Surfer Bethany Hamilton, Sports Broadcaster Samantha Ponder and TV Fashion Expert Kika Rocha Join Hampton by Hilton Seekenders to Share Weekend Travel Inspiration
Three New Faces Join the Ranks of Hampton’s Travel-Savvy Ultimate
Seekender Team In Addition to the Celebrities
MCLEAN, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hilton
Worldwide’s (NYSE: HLT) global brand Hampton
by Hilton is continuing to inspire Americans to seize the weekend by
adding three celebrity “Seekenders” to its team.
In August of 2015, the brand launched the Seekender campaign in an
effort to inspire Americans to take advantage of the weekend and pursue
their passions. Starting this summer, ‘Soul Surfer’ Bethany Hamilton,
ESPN broadcaster Samantha Ponder and national TV personality and fashion
expert Kika Rocha will share their weekend adventures and travel
insights on HamptonSeekender.com
and via social media using #Seekender.
A bold adventurer and global traveler, Hamilton embodies the Seekender
lifestyle and enjoys pursuing her passion while being surrounded by the
people who matter most to her. “With my family, we seek to live the life
we love together, especially on the weekends,” said Hamilton upon
joining the Ultimate Seekender Team.
Hamilton, who recently placed in the top three at the World Surf
League’s Fiji Women’s Pro, kicks off the collaboration by sharing her
family’s escape to Los Angeles. Rocha will follow with a family weekend
to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Ponder will share her rejuvenating weekend
trip to Bar Harbor, Maine as she prepares for the start of 2016 college
football season.
“It was lovely to wake up to free, hot breakfast, and the free Wi-Fi
allowed us to stay connected,” Hamilton shared following her recent
weekend stay at Hampton by Hilton in Los Angeles.
The celebrities will join three new Ultimate Seekender Team members
Gustavo Gutierrez, Giselle Orentas and Elena Ollick as well as the nine
veterans. They will share their experiences along the way as they seize
the weekend to follow their many passions from sports and music to food
and the great outdoors.
Building off this momentum, Hampton by Hilton has also launched the Soy
Seekender Summer Guide and Instagram Giveaway in partnership with
Latina Bloggers Connect. Now through September 5, 2016, participants can
enter for a chance to win a trip of their own by sharing pictures of
their favorite summer weekend escapes using the hashtag #SoySeekender
and tagging @LBConnect and @HamptonbyHilton.
Hampton by Hilton’s Ultimate
Seekender Team will continue to expand throughout the 2016 year,
adding even more adventure-seeking travelers to its roster. Follow the
