Recently, there's been reports that the economy of the tourism industry is beginning to recover due to the GoTo Travel Campaign, but some businesses, especially those that rely on inbound tourism, are still struggling. The purpose of this campaign is to encourage online GoTo Travelers to explore not only famous tourist spots, but also hidden gems, and to save the places they like in their favorites folder with the hopes that one day they will actually visit those places. In order to make the campaign even more enjoyable for everyone, the campaign has been designed with a game-like feature, in which the probability of winning an Amazon gift certificate will increase if you search for and share the hidden treasure videos.
