#LetsGetLost: WizzAir’s iconic contest took 150 lucky Italians to discover Abu Dhabi
The third edition of #LetsGetLostItaly, the iconic contest designed by Wizz Air, the most environmentally sustainable airline in EMEA¹, which offered a chance to win an unforgettable trip to a mystery destination.
On Jan. 30, 150 travelers left for a unique four-day experience into the unknown, landing in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates.
During the trip, organized in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism, the lucky winners had the opportunity to discover some of the emirate’s most iconic wonders. The visit began with a nature encounter at theAl Ain Zoo, where participants admired rare species in a dedicated conservation environment. The adventure then continued among the golden dunes at Nujum Desert Camp, where travelers enjoyed an authentic desert experience, with walks with the camel, sandboarding, an exciting off-road safari and dinner under the stars accompanied by local traditional performances.
Art and culture took center stage with a visit to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, which houses a vast collection of artworks from around the world. There was no shortage of fun with a stop at one of the city’s most iconic and exciting theme parks, Warner Bros. World™ Yas Island.
The energy and enthusiasm of the entire group made the trip even more special: participants made unique bonds by sharing moments of discovery, wonder and pure adventure. “Few people can really say they understand the meaning of the verbs ‘to get lost’ and ‘to set sail into the unknown,’ and we honestly don’t think we’re quite there yet. However, these last few days have given us a taste of that reality: we found ourselves on a plane with strangers, not knowing where we were going, and suddenly we were on safari, dancing in the middle of the desert or trying to capture every possible angle with our cameras. The memory of this experience will remain indelible in our minds. ” – wrote some of the lucky winners in a handwritten letter addressed to the team of organizers and the Wizz Air crew.
Tamara Nikiforova, Senior Communications Manager at Wizz Air, said, “This year’s edition of #LetsGetLost was a real success! We are thrilled to have given the winners and their companions a trip that will remain in their hearts forever. The sense of unity and friendship that was created among the participants was incredible. With the launch of this year’s new routes from Italy to Abu Dhabi, Zaragoza, Bilbao, Gran Canaria, Sibiu, Warsaw, and many other destinations, we will continue to surprise our passengers with ever more unique and memorable trips. ”
Abdulla Yousuf, Director of International Operations at the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT Abu Dhabi), commented, “Partnerships are key to showing the world the uniqueness of Abu Dhabi, which combines culture, adventure and hospitality, and our partnership with Wizz Air has been a huge success in this regard. In line with our Tourism Strategy 2030, we aim to simplify travel to the emirate and increase visitor numbers by working closely with our local and international airlines. We are delighted that the #LetsGetLost winners had such a memorable experience exploring Abu Dhabi, and we look forward to welcoming many more visitors thanks to the enhanced air connections offered by Wizz Air. “
