Has your holiday been cancelled this year? In desperate need of an escape? Looking for some sun?
This could be just what you’re looking for.
Like most tourist destinations amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the ever-popular Mexican city of Cancun has seen a decline in the number of visitors, so it’s pulled out all the stops.
In a bid to encourage more tourists to holiday in the Mexican Caribbean, the Hotel Associations of Cancun, Puerto Morelos & Isla Mujeres, the Riviera Maya, Cozumel, and the Grand Costa Maya have teamed up to to give away an incredible deal to some very lucky people.
They are offering an all-inclusive holiday for two people at popular resorts across the Mexican Caribbean every year for the next 20 years.

How brilliant is this?
Winners will get a certificate for a stay every year which is valid for a 20-year period. The stay can be at any four or five-star hotels in the different Mexican Caribbean tourist destinations, and the certificate – which offers an all-inclusive plan – is valid for a five or six-night stay and can only be used for two guests.

Fancy entering then?
The rules seem pretty simple because, according to the Come2MexcianCaribbean website, all you’ll need to do is first follow @Come2MexicanCaribbean on Instagram or TikTok, then upload your own photo or video related to the Mexican Caribbean either platform, tag the above handle and use the hashtag #Come2MexicanCaribbean.
Now, it does however seem to be a popularity contest though.

Again, according to the website, the more likes and shares you get, the more likely you are to win. You can post on both Instagram and TikTok to boost your chances and enter multiple posts, but do note, you can only be selected once as a winner.
The competition opened at the end of July and will stay open until 9th November 2020. You have to be aged 18 or over to enter, and the winner will be announced on 27th November 2020.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office currently advises British nationals against all but essential international travel – except to countries and territories which are exempt – and unfortunately, Mexico is not part of the countries and territories that have been assessed as no longer presenting an unacceptably high risk to British people travelling abroad at present, so this likely means it’s best to rule out a trip there this year.
The good thing is though that if you do chose enter, you can always use your certificate for next year, or any of the following years for the next two decades.

BBC to air long-lost Morecambe and Wise episode this month to celebrate star’s 100th birthday
Emily Sergeant
A long-lost episode of The Morecambe and Wise Show is set to air on the BBC this month, after being ‘missing’ for decades.
In what is already gearing up to be a memorable moment, the episode – which was first broadcast on the BBC on 16 September 1968, and was thought to have been lost forever before being recovered – will be shown on BBC Four and BBC iPlayer in a couple of weeks time to coincide with when Eric Morecambe would have turned 100 years old.
The episode was discovered by Film Is Fabulous! – which is a charitable trust run by film collectors and television enthusiasts.
It was found in the estate of a former television industry professional, before being returned to the BBC.
Audiences tuning in to the episode can expect to see sketches written by Sid Green and Dick Hills – with Ann Hamilton appearing as Pauline in a sketch set in a nudist colony, while Jenny Lee-Wright plays Eric’s niece, a balloon dancer.
📢 ‘Missing’ episode of The Morecambe and Wise Show is coming to the BBC!
A long-lost episode first broadcast in 1968 will be shown on BBC Four and @BBCiPlayer on Thursday 14 May, to coincide with when Eric Morecambe would have turned 100
It also includes a musical performance from The Paper Dolls, who enjoyed hits in the 1960s.
This ‘lost’ programme is the third episode from Morecambe and Wise’s first series after returning to the BBC, following a period working with commercial television.
Eric Morecambe’s daughter, Gail, has described the recovery of the episode as ‘a lovely surprise’, adding: “I’m really looking forward to seeing it on a screen once again after so many years.”
Gary Morecambe, Eric’s son, added: “I honestly didn’t think there was anything out there left to find, and when something like this comes out of nowhere, it’s really quite wonderful. Hats off to Professor Justin Smith and his team, whose dedication and hard work brought this gem back to us. I’m very excited about seeing it for the first time since I was 12.”
Noreen Adams, who is the Director of BBC Archives, concluded: “We’re delighted to share this comedy gold that we thought was lost forever with viewers across the UK.”
This long-lost episode of The Morecambe and Wise Show will be broadcast on BBC Four at 8pm on on Thursday 14 May, and available to watch whenever you like on BBC iPlayer from then.
