Hello, communicators:

Do you enjoy luxurious surroundings, drama and sharing wild antics with the world? Boy howdy, do we have an opportunity for you!

Hotels.com has concocted a new campaign called “Destination Drama,” which it describes as a “reality show-inspired stay in Palm Desert, California.”

According to a press release, “Hotels.com is on the hunt for the most dramatic friend group to stay at ‘Destination Drama’—a luxurious one-acre property of pure bliss that is the perfect backdrop for your crew’s inevitably entertaining vacation.”

Hotels.com says each member of your troublemaking squad will get a $1,000 stipend to use for airfare or other “travel expenses,” such as booze or telehealth counseling sessions.

Hotels.com shares more: “Of course, it didn’t happen if you didn’t post it, so budding reality stars can self-record their dramatic trip confessions in a high-tech confessional booth. Hotels.com will be sending you the pilot episode post-stay.”
