Distressed Inventory Interim Solution: eBreaks for Combined Portfolio
Franchise Management Companies | SPG Hot Escapes will be harmonized with Marriott eBreaks when the program transitions temporarily at the end of July. In August 2018, Marriott eBreaks will be re-positioned as a global weekly distressed inventory (defined as short-term need dates) product selling weekends featuring the combined portfolio.
To enable you to best support your SPG hotels, the interim solution and actions required by the on-property Revenue Managers for each hotel are highlighted below:
Program Overview
- Participation in the weekly sale is by invitation only, and then is optional and determined by the Revenue Manager, but encouraged based on business needs
- Select markets will be solicited to participate based on average market occupancy of 80% or lower throughout each weekly sale
- Hotels in these selected markets will be invited to participate two weeks before the sale goes live and the Revenue Manager must configure the rate plan/program to be added to the sale by Wednesday 9:00 p.m. ET to be featured on the landing page
- Valid for stays Thursday–Sunday over the next two weekends (Resorts ONLY: please note, if your market is included within a weekly eBreaks campaign, you can load weekdays at your discretion within the 14 day occupancy window, based on business needs where occupancy is 80% or lower)
- Global participation (new for eBreaks)
- Fully prepaid, non-cancellable, non-refundable (new for eBreaks)
- Rewards Member sign-in/sign-up required for booking
- Throughout this interim distressed inventory product, these rates will not be distributed to OTAs, GDS and wholesalers and only valid for direct bookings
Revenue Management contacts are encouraged to review required hotel actions, which were shared with Revenue Managers (HPP and GRST contacts) on July 13.
