Friends of World Heritage - About the Adventure Quiz Campaign

The Friends of World Heritage Adventure Quiz

**THE CONTEST IS CLOSED. STAY TUNED FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE WINNER!**

Friends of World Heritage is a grassroots initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of protecting World Heritage, promoting sustainable development, and offering ways to explore these sites through sustainable travel.

In coordination with the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull™, the founding partners of Friends of World Heritage (the UN Foundation, the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and Expedia, Inc.) have joined forces with Indiana Jones™ for an online campaign and contest to promote World Heritage education and sustainable travel. As more than a dozen World Heritage sites have been featured in previous Indiana Jones™ films, this campaign’s combined effort is a natural fit.

Through our commitment to World Heritage conservation, Friends of World Heritage are pleased to make available a public service announcement from producer Frank Marshall, of the Indiana Jones™ films.

In his message, Frank Marshall shares the following thoughts on the connection between his films and World Heritage: “Just as Indy chased [relics] because he believed in the importance of their preservation, I believe in the preservation of the amazing places where Indy chased those artifacts … World Heritage sites belong to us all, and it is up to all of us to work together toward their preservation.”

Other components of the campaign include an interactive and educational Adventure Quiz that highlights World Heritage sites in the films and an opportunity for site visitors to send a personalized adventure e-card to friends.

Finally, one lucky contestant will win an Indiana Jones™ Travel Experience for two exclusively from Expedia!

Inspired by Indy’s global adventures, the exclusive Indiana Jones™ Travel Experiences from Expedia showcase the World Heritage sites featured in previous Indiana Jones™ films. They also strive to reflect the values of sustainable tourism and the importance of conservation. Indiana Jones™ Travel Experiences employ local guides, suppliers and operators to provide travelers with an insight into local customs, culture, history, flora and fauna.

Through this online campaign and contest, we hope to educate and inspire you towards preserving and protecting World Heritage. Please continue to explore our website for more information on what Friends of World Heritage is doing with partners like Indiana Jones™ to raise awareness about these global treasures.
