Chevy Chase, Md., - July 24, 2014- A picture is worth a thousand words and memories are a beautiful way to hold on to our very best memories.  To share "Your Memories" and most inspiring journeys, The Ritz-Carlton invites savvy travelers across the globe to tell your story on RitzCarlton.com - #RCMemories.

'Your Memories' displays photos of captured moments as they are shared by guests on Twitter and Instagram and those that are tagged with #RCMemories. Guests may also submit their photos directly through the website to be a part of the memory collection and display.  Travelers share their personal experiences at Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts for others to see and be inspired by in a dynamic, mosaic-like display of images that is continuously refreshing. Links to 'Your Memories' can be added to personal Facebook, Twitter and/or Sina Weibo pages.

"The Ritz-Carlton brand is positioned on our ability to create memories for our guests. The number one way travelers share their memories is with photos in social media. This brings together the world of sharing through social media and pulling back the curtain on the real live memory making at our hotels," said Clayton Ruebensaal, vice president, global marketing. "Your Memories is a one-of-a-kind space that is populated entirely with user-generated content and allows everyone to enjoy memories as they unfold and where travelers can come back again and again to see new memories as they are made." The Ritz-Carlton is renowned for leaving an indelible mark on guests' lives, which has continued to evolve #RCMemories which originally launched in 2013.
