An attractive tourist destination is recruiting three people willing to travel to discover the gastronomy, nightlife, art, and stunning sunsets in the area. Airfare and accommodation are free.
The VisitSPC organization, which promotes the St. Pete-Clearwater tourist destination in Florida (USA), is looking for the right people for three „dream” roles. Those who want to enjoy a vacation and earn handsome money at the same time must apply for the following positions:
- "Chief Vibes Officer" (Responsible for the atmosphere);
- "Chief Flavor Officer" (Responsible for flavors);
- "Chief Sunset Curator" (Responsible for sunsets).
The unique recruitment campaign launched by VisitSPC includes 10-day missions designed to discover the people, places, and experiences that define the beach culture in this region of Florida, as reported by Travel+Leisure.
“Our new ‘directors’ have the challenging mission of eating, drinking, exploring, and fully savoring the St. Pete-Clearwater experience... and getting paid for it,” stated Brian Lowack, President and CEO of Visit St. Pete-Clearwater.
“It may seem like a vacation, but it's real work. Knowing our destination means living it every day, following what interests and surprises you, and sharing these discoveries with others,” he added.
The St. Pete-Clearwater area is renowned for its beaches with fine powder-like sand and white as sugar. Clearwater Beach is considered one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in the world. The local culture and the multitude of experiences available just a few steps away make this destination even more attractive, as noted by the source.
What's Included in the Job Description
- Chief Vibes Officer is the perfect role if you prefer the liveliest entertainment venues and nightlife.
