Hilton tempts business with Meetings for Free
SINGAPORE – Hilton Hotels in Asia Pacific is laying claim to an industry first.
Anyone making a bedroom booking before June 30 for any date in 2009 will be eligible to receive a complimentary day meetings package including meeting room facilities, refreshments and lunch.
The offer extends across all Hilton Family hotel brands in Asia Pacific – Hilton, Conrad and Doubletree by Hilton.
Meetings for Free applies to any conference, training or sales event held at any one of 47 Hilton Family hotels across 14 Asia Pacific countries for meetings from as few as two to as many as 100 residential delegates.
The promotion is open for bookings made during a limited period between now and June 2009, for events taking place throughout the year until December 31, 2009.
Hilton says its Meetings for Free helps to solve one of the problems currently facing modern businesses – how to ensure effective business communications whilst meeting and travel budgets are being cut.
Andrew Flack, vice president sales & marketing, Hilton Hotels Asia Pacific said, “The research illustrates that despite the current economic challenges, meetings still matter.
“Combined with our own experience of hosting meetings in our Hilton Family hotels across Asia Pacific, we see a change that rather than cutting out meetings to save costs, businesses are in fact changing the shape of the meetings they host.
“Increasingly we see a move towards smaller, more regular meetings in short haul destinations instead of the larger meetings and congresses in long haul locations.
“This promotion is designed to specifically address this trendâ€, he said.
