AXN Preps New Travel Reality Show

SINGAPORE/HONG KONG, August 14: AXN has announced plans to
launch Ultimate Escape, a new travel
reality series from the producers behind The Amazing Race Asia.

The new series will see four couples experience a three-day
tour-de-force through an exotic destination, with possible locales to include Spain,
Oman, Africa, Doha, Monaco, Sicily and Brazil. They will enjoy an extravagant
getaway beginning with a $2,000 shopping spree, a limousine ride to the
airport, high-end luxury accommodation and a trip complete with
adrenaline-filled adventures. The catch: some attractions are harrowing
adventures such as dune-buggy driving, white water rafting, deep-sea fishing
and other phobia-probing propositions. If either member of the couple fails to
accept any challenge, the trip is over for the both of them.

The producers of Ultimate Escape are currently encouraging people to nominate any duos
that they might know among their friends, family or colleagues. If the
nominated duos are chosen for the series, the show’s host will surprise them at
any unsuspecting moment with the offer to participate in the series.
Nominations are accepted online at www.axn-asia.com before August 31.

Gregory Ho, the VP of ad sales at SPE Networks-Asia,
commented: “Ultimate Escape is the
ultimate experience for anyone with a thirst for the fun and spontaneous
adventure of a glamorous jet-set lifestyle, away from the hustle and bustle of
everyday life…and best of all, it will be all paid for! The reality-TV
experience will be phenomenal for both nominees and sofa-travelers. With the
broadcast targeted for later this year, I am sure our viewers will get
motivated and plan their own Ultimate Escape after watching the show.”
