New Airline Leisure Rate
Late last year, we announced changes to Marriott’s travel professional discount rates, which are offered to travel agents booking Marriott hotels. The Marriott Travel Industry discount rate was retired and has been replaced with two programs, a Travel Agent discount (that launched Jan. 2), and the Airline Leisure Program, which will be available to participating Airline accounts beginning March 19. The Airline Leisure rate was previously offered by SPG hotels and will now be expanded to Marriott Rewards hotels.
Required for all brands, the Airline Leisure rate aims to provide a more targeted approach to providing a leisure travel program for these valued partners.
Details regarding this new Airline Leisure rate will be shared with hotels via the March 12 Weekly Update, and Revenue Managers for Marriott Rewards hotels should refer to the Revenue Management Business Processes on MGS for rate loading instructions. Talking Points and Frequently Asked Questions are also available on MGS to support potential interactions with customers impacted by these changes.
