Worldhotels partners Garuda Indonesia to enhance frequent flyer benefits for guests

SHANGHAI - Travellers staying in Worldhotels properties during 2013 can now earn more frequent flyer miles from Garuda, the national flag carrier of Indonesia.

Now through the end of this year, travellers can earn double or more than double the amount of Garuda Frequent Flyer miles via a qualifying stay in a Worldhotels property. The new benefits are packaged as three separate promotions:

    Double Miles Promotion: Enjoy 1000 miles per stay
    Triple Miles Promotion: Enjoy 1500 miles per stay with a minimum of two nights stay
    Suite Miles Promotion: Stay in a suite for two nights or more and receive 3000 miles per stay including breakfast in-room and late checkout.

Garuda became a frequent flyer partner of Worldhotels in July 2012. Twenty-three other international carriers also have alliances with the global hotel group, including Singapore Airlines, Air France/KLM, United Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Lufthansa.

With over 500 properties in 65 countries, the Worldhotels network provides accommodation for hundreds of thousands of international travellers each year, while Garuda's global footprint already extends to 33 domestic destinations, 18 international destinations and is growing fast. The cooperation between the hotel group and carrier therefore benefits customers of both companies.

Worldhotels has in its pipeline, an aggressive plan to add more than 30 properties to its network in Indonesia over the next ten years.

Worldhotels presently has three hotels in Indonesia -- Ayodya Resort Bali, The Sultan Hotel in Jakarta, and Bintan Lagoon Resort on Bintan Island. The Breezes Bali will become the fourth Indonesia property of the group this April, and Worldhotel Balangan, currently under construction, is scheduled to open by the end of 2014.

Worldhotels Executive Vice President Asia-Pacific Roland Jegge said, "Our group is proud to be a partner of Garuda, an airline that last year earned the title of World's Best Regional Airline in a comprehensive Skytrax survey of 18 million air travellers."
