Small Luxury Hotels of the World launches Travel Agent Promotion

Small Luxury Hotels of the World has added a section to its website dedicated to travel agents. To promote the new section, SLH has rolled out a global competition that will provide travel agents with an opportunity to win up to 50 room nights at any one of the brand’s worldwide properties.

“We recognise that travel agents are critical to the success of the brand and so it’s really important that we continue to identify and implement new initiatives, like a dedicated website, that provide agents with the tools to sell the SLH brand as effectively and seamlessly as possible,” said Paul Kerr, Chief Executive Officer of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

The importance of travel agents to the SLH brand is demonstrated by the fact that over 70% of reservations made through Small Luxury Hotels of the World’s booking channels are made by agents using the dedicated GDS code ‘LX’ for LuXury.

Each week until mid-April, Small Luxury Hotels of the World is offering travel agents the opportunity to win one of 10 five-night stays at any one of its worldwide properties.

With over 480 of the world’s finest small independent hotels, spanning more than 70 countries, this presents travel agents with quite a spectacular choice. Whether it is trekking through the rainforests of Costa Rica, experiencing an atmospheric jungle lodge on the edge of India’s oldest national park or discovering the delights of a city sanctuary, the options are endless.

All that travel agents are required to do in order to be in with a chance of winning one of the five- right stays is log on to www.slh.com/travelagents and answer 10 simple questions. Entries can then be submitted on-line.

A different set of questions will be featured each week for 10 consecutive weeks, thereby increasing agents’ chances of winning. One lucky winner will be selected each week.

As well as having a chance to win a five night stay at an SLH hotel, travel agents who log on to the new website will find details of individual SLH hotels and their respective GDS codes, an extensive selection of high resolution images of each property and the latest hotel offers.

The site also includes information on SLH’s commission payment policy and contact details for the dedicated telephone hotlines where agents can speak to an SLH representative if they are having problems securing a reservation at an SLH hotel or if a client has a special request.

Information about SLH’s global sales team is also available on the site, including information on the recently created Groups and Meetings department.
