Sonesta Announces Guest Recognition Program
Travel Pass
SEPTEMBER 16, 2009 - The Sonesta Collection has introduced its guest recognition program - Travel Pass. Sonesta Travel Pass is focused on a guest's personal preferences, special amenities, and personalized attention.
"Designed to celebrate our guests' passion for travel, our guest recognition program is as unique as our guests," said Stephanie Sonnabend, Sonesta's president and CEO. "Travel Pass benefits begin from the moment you enroll, and members enjoy little luxuries that make every Sonesta stay special. There are three membership tiers and it only takes six stays at any Sonesta to earn Elite Member status. The program is complimented by a monthly sweepstakes for those that really have a passion for travel."
Membership begins with immediate rewards including free Internet access; preferred room accommodations; access to a Travel Pass guest manager for special requests; monthly updates on hotel offers and member discounts; and enrollment in Sonesta's Travel Passion Sweepstakes. The sweepstakes provides a monthly opportunity to win free travel to a different Sonesta hotel or resort beginning in August. The grand prize offers free travel to visit each and every Sonesta worldwide, including $5000 in airfare to get you started on your vacation of a lifetime. (Grand prize will be drawn in July, 2010.)
