Anyone from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Mexico, New Zealand, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom or the United States are eligible for then position.

Interested CEOs should apply by posting a video to TikTok explaining why they are the best culinary expert for the job and following and tagging @RamadabyWyndham and #RamadaCEO.

Ramada by Wyndham is not the only hotel brand on the job hunt this fall. Four Points by Sheraton is searching for its own CBO (Chief Beer Officer) to judge some of the best craft beer and win the ultimate “beercation” traveling to different hotels and sampling the local beer.

Courtyard by Marriott is holding its own promotion with the ultimate sports fan prize of spending the night in the Super Bowl stadium the night before the big game. These are just a few of the many free travel-related contests available this fall.
