Preferred Hotels & Resorts has rolled out Loving Local, a global travel campaign that offers bonuses for both travellers and travel advisors alike.
More than 200 hotels and resorts across 21 regional markets worldwide
are participating in this limited-time global campaign – valid for
bookings made by 31 July, 2020 for stays of two nights or more through
31 December, 2020.
The Loving Local deal will offer guests the best available rate,
daily breakfast options for two, and a stay credit ranging from
US$25-$70 that can be used toward on-property expenditures, along with
immediate fast track to Elite status in the brand’s I Prefer Hotel
Rewards programme, which features a VIP amenity, next category room
upgrade, 2,500 bonus points, and complimentary internet.
All Loving Local bookings will also unlock access to special benefits
from partner brands including Avis (for car rentals in Asia), and
Travel Curious (for those who would like curated tours of their chosen
destination).
For travel advisors, Preferred Hotels & Resorts is also offering a
3% bonus on top of the standard 10% agency commission for Loving Local
bookings made through the GDS or direct channels with a qualifying
IATA/TIDS number.
“With all indicators showing that domestic travel will be an
essential driver for economic recovery as travel restrictions are lifted
at different times around the world, we created Loving Local to
encourage interrupted travelers to once again embrace the virtues of
community and explore destinations closer to home through our incredible
independent hotels,” said Kristie Goshow, chief marketing officer for
Preferred Hotels & Resorts.
In Asia Pacific, participating hotels include One Farrer Hotel in
Singapore, The Siam in Bangkok, The Sanchaya on Indonesia's Bintan
Island, The Leela Palace Udaipur, The Fullerton Hotel Sydney, and
Bungaraya Island Resort in Sabah, among others.
