The family-friendly hotel brand kicks off a
nationwide hunt for a travel-ready, cheese-loving, social-savvy
family eager to savor the Midwest's finest fromage
PARSIPPANY, N.J., July 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Cheese fanatics, rejoice! From the picturesque
hills of Wisconsin to the
delightful dairy farms of Iowa and
plenty of cheddar stops in between, one thing is for sure: cheese
isn't just food—it's a way of life, and the Midwest has mastered
it. That's why, this summer, AmericInn by Wyndham, the
family-friendly hotel brand known as America's welcoming neighbor,
is celebrating America's cheese devotion with a search for the
'Cheesiest' Family in America. In exchange for a $15,000 payday, the hotel chain seeks a
cheese-loving family to hit the road through the Midwest, crafting
social media content for the brand – where cheese puns are the star
attraction.
It's no surprise that cheese holds a special place in the hearts
(and stomachs) of Americans. Recent research reveals that nearly
96% of Americans enjoy cheese regularly and about a third
savor it in their meals on average of three times daily. From the
mouth-watering cheese curds of Wisconsin to the artisanal fromage of
Minnesota the first-ever AmericInn
Cheesiest Family will dive headfirst into seven nights of cheesy
bliss.
"No matter where you live, nothing beats the bonding power of
cheese. And when it comes to the best, there's no doubt the Midwest
reigns supreme. Just like cheese brings families together over
delicious meals, AmericInn connects guests with unforgettable
travel experiences across America's heartland and beyond. Our first
ever Cheesiest Family will fully immerse themselves in the best
cheese-scapades, experiencing AmericInn signature hospitality and
sharing their memorable adventures on social media."
- Clem Bence, Vice President and
Brand Leader, AmericInn by
Wyndham
