PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Calling all
wanderlust seekers! Days Inn® by Wyndham is back offering summer's
hottest gig: the coveted Sunternship. The iconic economy hotel
brand is looking to hire one adventure-seeker eager to make up for
a year of lost travels by taking on the role of Suntern and helping
uncovering America's sunniest attractions.
With travel being one of the main sources of motivation this
year, it's no surprise that America's youth are choosing to take a
step back and reclaim summer '21 with sun-soaked experiences
outside of the living room. A recent survey found that as many as
22% of college students recently took a full or partial gap
year1. With travel
restrictions easing, many are now looking to summer as their chance
to come out of a year-long travel hibernation. Luckily, Days Inn
wants everyone to Seize the Days®, and this year's "Suntern" will
be tasked with packing their bags for a two-week, cross-country
summer jaunt, inspiring other sun chasers with the ultimate gap
year bucket list.
"For over 50 years we've made it our mission to help guests make
the most out of their travels, and after more than a year of being
confined to the four corners of our homes, that mission feels even
more important than ever" said John
Henderson, brand leader and president of operations, Days
Inn by Wyndham. "Whether it's skydiving in Seattle, hiking through Yellowstone, or
parasailing in Daytona Beach, we want our Suntern to have a summer
they'll remember forever."

program from now through June 1,
2021. Thrill-seekers with a passion for travel and an eye
for photography can submit their application at

travel stipend, Wyndham Rewards® Diamond level membership, and a
