“And the hits just keep on coming”… Global Connections, Inc. (GCI) has shared Global Discovery Vacations members favorite road trip play lists that range from classics to indie rock.
According to Corey Thibodeaux, online content manager for GCI, “Music is one of those art forms that permeates every aspect of our lives from entertainment to exercise to ambiance. And travel is no stranger to music, with many artists drawing inspirations from their time on the road or in memories of home. We started sharing some of our staff favorites and members were inspired to send in their own favorites. We rewarded some of our member contributions with a set of Global head phones.”
Ukukhethwa komculo wehlabathi jikelele kuquka uWillie Nelson "Endleleni kwakhona," Allman Brothers' "Ramblin' Man," Abamemezeli' "Ndizoba (500 Miles)," Lyndsay Buckingham's "Holiday Road" kunye noJohnny Cash benza "I' Ve Been Everywhere” ukukhankanya ezimbalwa.
Other suggestions from the Global staff for great tunes to hit the road were: Red Hot Chile Peppers – “Around the World,” OneRepublic’s “Good Life,” Lissie’s “Wild West” and Mumford and Sons’ “Hopeless Wanderer.”
“Our entries were all over the map, figuratively and literally,” said Corey. “Global member’s play lists included artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Jimmy Buffet, Don Williams, The Beach Boys and Alice Cooper. Quite eclectic!”
Member engagement contests and social media participation are sources of pride for GCI. The musical suggestions sent by members were filled with their enthusiasm for vacationing and traveling with Global. The social media team was flooded with messages such as these throughout the Road Trip Play List promotion:
“Kuhambo lwamva nje lweentsuku ezintathu, bendino-Alice Cooper, uKiss, uRob Zombie kunye neeDoors bedlala indlela yokujonga iindlela ezimbini zeelori, ezinye iimoto kunye nembonakalo entle ukusuka eMichigan ukuya eTexas.

Iingoma zeZac Brown Band zindenza ndifune ukuya elwandle ngeGlobal Discovery Vacations:
'Wishin' ndandingene nzulu emanzini ndaweni ithile!
Ndinesibhakabhaka esiluhlaza, impepho evuthuza ezinweleni zam, ixhala kuphela emhlabeni kukuba umsinga uza kufikelela esitulweni sam.
Ingqondo ngeholide esisigxina,
Ulwandle kuphela kweyeza lam
Ndinqwenela ukuba imeko yam ingaze ihambe.'
Ndihamba kuphela kwiindawo ezinamanzi. Ukuya eCape Cod ngo-Okthobha kunye ne-GDV.
– Laura K.
“Kunye nosapho lwethu olukhulu, siqhuba sisiya kwiindawo ezininzi zeGlobal Discovery Vacations. Ezinye zezinto esizithandayo zethi 'Awunakuyekisa Imvakalelo,' 'Yivuthulule,' 'Inkwenkwe Elahlekileyo,' 'Amantombazana Afuna Ukonwaba Nje.' Basilungiselela lonke ulonwabo!”

“Our members are a great bunch of people and we love finding out more about who they are, what they like doing on vacation and what they listen to,” says Corey. The Play List promotion was one of our more popular events and we’ll add this to our list of ongoing programs.”
