2020 Fam-Tastic and Plan-Tastic Program Participation
A key piece of Marriott’s Global Distribution Strategy is to continue to strategically leverage and manage Intermediary Partners. To support this effort, marketing opportunities and tools are available to give your hotel(s) the visibility they need to develop stronger relationships with our Travel Advisor and Meeting Professional Partners, and help reinforce Marriott’s long-standing tradition of investing in our Intermediary Partners.
To aid in keeping Marriott’s brands top of mind, the Fam-Tastic and Plan-Tastic rates offer an opportunity to build exposure and loyalty with travel advisors and meeting planners.
- Fam-Tastic is the industry’s premier familiarization program for qualified travel advisors. The Fam-Tastic benefit allows travel advisors the opportunity to experience our brands firsthand by providing them access to our lowest industry rates for their own personal travel.
- Plan-Tastic is an exclusive benefit offered to qualified meeting professionals who have successfully completed the Meetings Excellence! training, earning them Marriott’s Meeting Professional (MMP) designation providing them annual access to our lowest industry rates for their own travel to experience our brands firsthand.
These rates, which will continue in 2020, are offered exclusively to travel advisors and meeting professionals who have successfully completed Marriott’s Hotel Excellence! and Meetings Excellence! training programs. These rates must be booked exclusively through a link on the Hotel Excellence! and Meetings Excellence! websites and should not be booked directly with the hotel to ensure travel advisor/meeting professional eligibility at time of booking.
Franchise hotels wishing to opt out, should do so via iFast by Nov. 22, 2019. For information about rate rules, Revenue Management and Front Desk procedures, see Fam-Tastic and Plan-Tastic.
