Omni Hotels & Resorts launched a new Omni Select Planner program for meeting planners. Meeting and event planners now can earn free nights, tier status and unique, local experiences with every booking.
“We looked at our existing loyalty program, and industry programs overall, and found we had a real opportunity to recognize and thank our clients in a different way,” Dan Surette, SVP of sales and marketing for Omni, said in a statement. “Beyond a strong loyalty program that gives back to our valued planners, we know that genuine hospitality and service matters. Across the brand, we see ourselves as gracious hosts, and because of our unique ownership structure, our teams are flexible, empowered and creative. Our planners can truly book with confidence as we are in it together.”
Select Planner is a part of Omni’s Select Guest loyalty program. Members can earn award and tier credits immediately upon signing a group or catering booking, allowing the planner to earn free nights and offering an accelerated path to elite-level status. In addition to free room nights redeemable at any Omni hotel or resort, benefits include locally inspired welcome amenities and experiences, flexible check-in and check-outs, shoe shines and pressings, complimentary water, Wi-Fi and more. Additionally, members can track their rewards and manage their preferences in one Select Guest account.
