During the current economic slowdown, holidaymakers have to stake out travel fairs looking for the best deals in town. They crave the holiday of their dreams to take a breather from this tough year but have to give in to tight budgets.

At Citystate Holidays - the leisure brand of Citystate Travel Pte Ltd - helping people find that elusive vacation is what they do best.Experienced and knowledgeable consultants are always on hand to help plan customised tours for all kinds of travellers, including 'free & easy' packages to Europe, America, Australia and Asia, as well as exciting cruise vacations.

This August, Citystate Holidays is going one step further by giving travellers a chance to go on a cruise for free! "Sail Away to a Holiday!" is an online contest comprising two categories, catering for people who have been on cruises and love the experience, and those who have not but would like to enjoy a cruise. Check out the website here. The top entry (based on online voting and the decision of a panel of judges) from each category stands to win a 5 day 4 night Royal Caribbean Cruise for two worth $1,500.

Get your friends involved! Your friends can view and vote for your submission to increase your chances of winning. They can vote online once a day throughout the voting period. Voters stand to win $100 travel vouchers!

The submission deadline for this contest is August 19 with voting concluding on August 23. The winners will be announced on August 29 at the City State Holidays' booth, 5H18, at the NATAS Fair held at Singapore Expo Halls 4 & 5.
