On the subject of Petra, I am really glad to say the doors are now open on the Petra Blog, which we have just launched on behalf of the Jordan National Tourist Office. The idea is to provide a central point of information on the ancient city, to aggregate visitor content as they publish their experiences online in words and pictures and to act as an online cheer leader for Petra in the New Seven Wonders competition.
By way of reader encouragement, we’ve also set up a competition – no purchase necessary – to win a holiday to Petra and you are all invited to join in.
It is certainly worth the little effort involved and given this is still something of a soft launch – and we could still be sitting in the mythical Google sandbox long after the competition finishes – the odds on winning look very good indeed.

As with the message on the other blog – it hardly seems fair to offer such an incentive on a vote like this.
And as I responded on the other one, I completely understand what you are saying but it would be hard to think of a more appropriate prize in the circumstances and it’s always good to respond when people support your efforts.

“…good to respond when people support your efforts”.
Of course, but this isn’t a thank-you letter – it’s at best a major incentive and at worst a bribe.
Let’s face it, I could easily be tempted to vote for Petra even though I have never been there in my life. On the other hand I have been to Ankor Wat which is incredible but they aren’t offering a free trip.
Sorry, but doesn’t appear to be in the right spirit.
