This week we feature another installment of “Meet the Mods” Angie talks with Justin Walter who shared his journey into the points and miles hobby, which started in 2021 after being inspired by fellow enthusiast Justin Vacula. His first major redemption, staying at the Hyatt Ziva Cancun, got him hooked, and he now prefers traveling in business class, especially for international trips. One of his favorite redemptions was flying Virgin Upper Class from JFK to London using Flying Blue miles. He's now looking forward to his upcoming trip to Japan, where he'll experience JAL's first class. Justin's tip of the week is to always work on hitting minimum spending requirements to continue building points, as it's essential to unlock valuable rewards.Links to news discussedChase Ink Unlimited new elevated bonusSAS joining Skyteam, now bookable via Delta and Flying BlueAmerican Airlines switching to dynamic pricing on Fiji AirlinesIHG is back with another airline partnership.

Send us a textLufthansa ist in Gesprächen mit der portugiesischen Regierung über eine mögliche Beteiligung an der Nationalairline TAP. In einem ersten Schritt soll es um den Erwerb von 19,9% der Anteile gehen, um eine Zustimmung der EU-Kommission zu vermeiden und gleichzeitig die Kontrolle über TAP vor möglichen Konkurrenten wie Air France-KLM und IAG zu sichern. Die portugiesische Regierung plant mittelfristig den Verkauf von mindestens 51% der TAP-Anteile und sucht nach strategischen Investoren aus der Luftfahrtbranche.TAP ist für Lufthansa besonders wegen des starken Netzwerks in Brasilien interessant, einem Markt, in dem die Lufthansa Group bislang wenig vertreten ist. Die Gespräche laufen parallel zu anderen Übernahmeverhandlungen im europäischen Luftfahrtsektor, bei denen Lufthansa auch Air Europa ins Visier nehmen könnte, nachdem IAG die Übernahme dieser Fluggesellschaft aus wettbewerbsrechtlichen Gründen aufgeben musste.#Lufthansa #TAP #AirlineBeteiligung #Luftfahrt #Brasilien #Lissabon #AviationNews #AirlineIndustryFrage des Tages: Soll Lufthansa sich an der TAP beteiligen?

JetBlue Looks for Post-Spirit Profitability

Episode Notes JetBlue Airways is focusing on how it can be profitable following its failed merger with Spirit Airlines. So JetBlue is looking at ways to cut costs and offer more leisure routes, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi. JetBlue is grappling with rising costs due to new labor contracts and also has engine issues that have currently grounded seven aircraft. JetBlue Chief Financial Officer Ursula Hurley said the company would offer crew members voluntary buyouts to help offset some of those costs. The New York-based carrier also plans to defer $2.5 billion in aircraft spending to the end of the decade. And as JetBlue is increasingly targeting leisure travelers, the company is expanding service to popular destinations such as Florida, the Caribbean and Mexico. Next, protesters have blocked crucial rail access to Machu Picchu in anger over the Peruvian government's new online ticketing system for tourist attractions, writes Global Tourism Reporter Dawit Habtemariam. Habtemariam reports tour operators have had to substantially alter their trips due to the lack of rail service since last Thursday. Sarah Migniac, an an executive at tour operator G Adventures, said reaching Machu Picchu could take nine hours without the train route. Migniac added that international travelers may cancel trips to Peru if traveling to Machu Picchu remains difficult. One Peruvian official said the disruption is costing the Machu Picchu site roughly $260,000 in lost income per day. Finally, Hilton has announced plans to enable guests to make requests by text at all of its hotels by the end of 2024, reports Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill. Guests will be able to send messages via the Hilton Honors app, WhatsApp, and other platforms. Although texting customer service requests has become common in sectors such as retail and finance, some major hotel groups still require phone or face-to-face internations. Hilton is the first hotel group to require all its hotels to enable guests to make requests via text.

Weinstein shares why data and technology are crucial to Hilton's customers' experience, the creative philosophy for the hotel's recent campaign with Paris Hilton, and marketing against home-sharing companies. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian: (00:01)I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse: (00:02)And I'm Ilyse Liffreing. AndDamian: (00:03)Welcome to this edition of the current podcast.Ilyse: (00:10)This week we're delighted to talk with Mark Weinstein, the Chief Marketing Officer at Hilton.Damian: (00:16)Mark joined Hilton more than 13 years ago rising to become the CMO in 2020, where he now leads global marketing for the Hilton portfolio of over 7,300 hotels across 22 brands in 123 countries and territoriesIlyse: (00:32)As travel surged. After all that pent up Wonderlust created during the pandemic, the hotel brand unveiled its biggest marketing push in six years. The campaign focuses on the quality of the travel experience with Hilton Brands. So Mark Hilton, of course, has its own loyalty program, the free Hilton Honors. How many Hilton guests currently take part in this program? What does it offer in terms of perks?Mark: (01:02)We have 165 million Hilton Honor members and growing. We're the fastest growing loyalty program in travel. And what we love about Hilton Honors, it allows us to get to know our guests to personalize the experience for them. And it also connects all 22 brands. 'cause what's interesting about our portfolio is each brand serves a travel need, budget and occasion. And you may transverse the brands for your different needs. And so Hilton Honors is that connective tissue, whether you're an infrequent traveler and Hilton Honors is a way to give you the best value for booking through hilton.com directly. So we get to know who you are, things like free wifi and points towards that free stay, a more elite member who can earn additional benefits like automated upgrades that we're delivering so you have even better stay or even that ability to dream for that once in a lifetime experience with our partners at McLaren, uh, F one Racing or Live Nation. Uh, and which you can of course further accelerate with things like our credit cards along the journey. So there's something for everyone, uh, along the Hilton Honors program. And of course, as you said, it's free to join, so you'd be crazy not to get that additional value.Ilyse: (01:56)Now how would you say like technology such as like your digital platforms and mobile app also play a role basically in enhancing the guest experience in order to foster like that loyalty and that wonderlust?Mark: (02:09)Yeah. The interesting thing about our technology, I would say it, it focuses in two different ways. All in service of that wonderlust. In some ways it's taking the friction outta travel so you can focus on doing what you're there to do, which is explore and find a great stay experience. So some of our innovations around digital key and the ability to choose your room in the app before you even get there, you know exactly what room you're gonna have. The ability to book confirm connecting rooms for parents. There's nothing more stressful than wondering if you're gonna get those rooms together. We actually are able to confirm it at time of booking. The ability to personalize the stay and choose things you want, the ability to message with the front desk, those are all friction removing items of the travel journey. They take away that interaction at the front desk where it's highly transactional.Mark: (02:48)That frees you up to then have a human conversation. Where do the locals like to eat? Where's the best place to get that Instagrammable rooftop bar shot, you know, as the sun's coming down. So that's one aspect of our technology is making the guest experience better, uh, and easier. On the other hand, putting the wonderlust back in. So you look at our social media abilities to connect with customers with the things they want to hear most about, to produce content and serve it up, whether it's on the interim TV with our connected room, digital TVs through the app itself or on our websites. The ability to let you personalize choices on Hilton Honors. What benefits you most wanna earn on that trip, or the ability to serve up what interesting experiences you might wanna use your honors points for. And so that Wonder Lust is enabled by both the simplifying the basics and really making it straightforward so we're always reliable and friendly to our guests. And then it also supercharging that, that sort of wonder lust that makes you wanna explore the planet.Ilyse: (03:37)How does like data then come into play from your loyalty program to tailor your marketing efforts and create those very unique experiences?Mark: (03:46)Data plays a critical role in everything we do for our customers. Whether that is for our less frequent travelers, trying to better get them the right content on initial stay. Like lots of people travel very infrequently and when they do, it's the trip of a lifetime. So we wanna make sure we use contextual clues from the data, where they came from, what they're engaging with to serve up the right hotel, the right products, the right experiences for that trip. Our Hilton honors members, our best customers who we know extremely well, we can be even more personalized. We can serve up the dream destinations they most want to go to. When you're looking at our website, you're seeing the kind of rooms you typically book, you know, 'cause we know you so well giving you add-on abilities. Things that we know you always add onto your trip are even easier at the fingertips.Mark: (04:24)So that, that's one aspect of it. Second aspect of it is product innovation. You know, the insights of our customers are telling us where we need to go next. They help us pick the next destinations. You know, we're opening about a hotel a day, they help us build new brands, places where we know our customers are looking for a great product, but maybe we don't have a category. And it becomes our design target, our muse for designing a new brand where we create partnerships, the products that we put in our hotels, the partners we affiliate with to build out that journey. So it's, it's both myopically used to, to give you a personalized experience in the moment itself, but also helping us innovate and build the pipeline of where we go next with who we go next and how we build out the brands.Damian: (05:00)Let's talk a bit about the actual marketing campaigns that you've launched. I know that last year you launched the biggest marketing push in six years. Um, it's the Hilton for the Stay platform. The tagline is, it matters where you stay. And that was a campaign, uh, created by TBWA Jet Day and that features Paris Hilton for the very first time, who's seen giving travel tips. Could you talk a little bit about that campaign and why you launched this big campaign last year? ComingMark: (05:26)Outta the pandemic, it would be really easy to get into that sea of sameness, trpi that was out there. You had this desire to reconnect and of course that was an important message, but every company in travel was gonna say the same thing, is saying the same thing and has done so for, you know, decades that empty, you can picture it, that empty beach with a nobody on the beach chair and the clear blue ocean. You can't tell if it's a credit card, a hotel company, an airline, a travel agency, or anything in between. So we knew there was kinda the sea of sameness. There was a tendency to fall in that trope of re connectivity coming outta the pandemic. So we used that moment, uh, during the pandemic to both double down on our customer relationships, donate a million rooms to frontline medical responders, do all the things you do in that moment, but really look ahead to what the future would be.Mark: (06:04)And what we realized was we had never had a platform to tell our story consistently. And in a sea of sameness of this kind of eat, pray, love wonderlust of travel and people on goji berries and surfboards, that's not my travel experience most of the time. Why were we glorifying the destination but not the thing we provide in this travel experience? The stay itself. And we thought back to our founder, uh, Conrad Hilton over a hundred years ago said it was our job to fill the earth with the light and warmth, the hospitality. So we had this really unique purpose in the world, very different than everyone else, and yet a sea of sameness marketing, uh, environment. And what we realized was we were going from campaign to campaign, getting sick of it before anybody else even saw it, before it even wore in. We needed a platform, we needed our version of what we're gonna stand for.Mark: (06:45)And so as we looked with TBWA, the answer was there all along. It's the stay. It doesn't matter how you travel, it doesn't matter how you live your life. When you come to our hotel and you cross that transom, it just feels different when it's at Hilton and at the heart of every great trip is a great stay. And so the stay became that, that that glue. We then look for stories you could tell on top of it. Uh, it matters where you stay as our first campaign to tell that story. Bringing other influencers and creators in to help tell their authentic story. And who more authentic than the great-granddaughter of the founder of our company, Paris Hilton, who has lived her life literally in our hotels, you know, born and raised in in many of our hotels, traveled the world. So we try to find a lot of different ways in to tell that story all connected back to these 22 brands, how they're all part of Hilton and how ultimately were for this day,Damian: (07:27)How significant was it? Was the fact that you launched this across many different channels?Mark: (07:32)I mean, fir look, first of all, we wanna be where our customers are. I mean that, that's ultimately drives this conversation. And, and you know, just using linear as an example, you know, your go-to oftentimes as a classically trained marketer is to to be on tv. And of course we need to be there. There's some reach and frequency in the saliency that comes with that. But the reality is increasingly our customers are engaging with brands differently. Uh, and whether that's on social media or their favorite creators, our ability to give up control a bit, which is hard as a brand owner, right? As as a brand leader. And you realize very quickly we actually don't own the brand that customers do. Their perception becomes reality. Their reality becomes the brand. So we better meet them where they are. Podcasting and audio is a huge trend coming particularly accelerated outta the pandemic.Mark: (08:09)Uh, social media obviously has been, you know, a rocket ship. Uh, your ability to even functionally serve up search results. SEO is being generated by your ability to be indexable on, you know, YouTube and, and TikTok and other places. So it's, it's a no brainer to be with the customers are. And and what's amazing to me about marketing this great discipline we all get to do is that the fundamentals are the same, right? We're still telling great stories like we're doing for hundreds of years that is just so authentically human, but how we get to do it is rapidly changing it faster than any time in history. And so that's why we went omnichannel duringDamian: (08:40)The pandemic of, of course people stopped traveling, they had to, and we saw a big surge of travel after that based on that wonderlust, that desire to get out of the house. According to the US Travel Association, total travel spending this year is still going up 4% over last year, year over year. Is that your perception? Is that your understanding travel demand is still very strong?Mark: (09:01)Yeah, look, coming, coming outta the crisis, I mean every single year of the last three years has been stronger than the previous. Uh, the reality is there's so much pent up demand and one or lost. I, I think there were some mechanic things like people had record levels of savings. But more importantly we had this golden age of travel going into the pandemic, you know, record levels of middle class all across the world, getting to experience travel for the first time that pause, but it didn't break during the pandemic. There was a very explainable reason, the pandemic to stop doing that. But the demand was still there. The desire was still there. And then it got accelerated when people realized how fragile freedom is, right? That at the end of the day, at any given time, your bucket list comes to a screeching halt. So why is it a bucket list?Mark: (09:37)Why is it not a tomorrow list? Why is it not a today list? Let's go out and do it. And then you started to see flexibility of working, right? This idea that I had to be on this calendar schedule where my kids had to get to back to school at a certain time or I needed back in the office, that dynamic changed as well. And so you have record amount of demand, you had a very acute moment where we all realized, my goodness, the thing I love to do could go away at any time. And then life became more flexible. It has led to record levels of travel all across the world. And our hotels are certainly seeing record levels of customers engaging with us.Ilyse: (10:07)So Hilton has a diverse portfolio, brands 22 to be precise. How does the marketing strategy then differ across these brands to cater to those like various travel segments?Mark: (10:19)It's a great question. Look, each brand has a design target, a ause that we use to design that and, and s sort an archetype that we're really focusing on. We build out that prototype of what it's gonna look like, feel like what brands are gonna appear in the hotel itself, what's the color palette, the look and feel, the logo, all those things that you'd expect us to do. And each brand has to win its category, right? All of 'em have, you know, great competitors that, that are offering options the same price point. So we gotta be differentiated. What's important for us though is that by Hilton or the name Hilton in the brand, which is in all 22 brands, is not a holding company. We're not a, we're not a sort of CPG company that just happens to own these brands and lets 'em all pure play, compete.Mark: (10:55)They all have a purposeful role in the journey. And so you may be at a Hilton resort, you know, having a great trip in Aruba and then suddenly you're at your kid's soccer game or you know, football match at a Hampton Inn somewhere in the world or you know, that you need to be in and then a Walter for story for your honeymoon. So you're transversing those brands by Hilton has to mean something by Hilton has to also be the connective tissue. And so it's this fun challenging balance of having 22 brands each with their own personality that commands premiums in their category, while also reminding customers that it matters that these are by Hilton and that you'll get the benefits of Hilton Honors and all the things we innovate and drive. Uh, along the journey.Ilyse: (11:30)Hilton recently conducted research into how different generations travel. What were like, the major takeaways from the research, for instance is like one generation travel more than the other.Mark: (11:41)You know, some trends you see are about where you are in your lifecycle, right? Obviously the older you get the the more you typically have more disposable income and time just definitionally. When you're younger, you're often in the early stage of your career, maybe your family's younger. So there, there's those dynamics. But we do look at each generation to see what's pervasive and what's what's there. The first was the focus on wellness. People are looking particularly for restorative sleep. Uh, when you looked at I think the lowest end of the, of the spectrum, you know, 55% of Gen Z were saying that's the primary purpose of their trip. All they up to 70% of, uh, boomers and and Gen X were saying the primary purpose of the trip was restorative sleep, right? So we take that responsibility very, very seriously that you need to be rested and relaxed when you come to our hotel.Mark: (12:20)Second trend we saw was a seamless digital experience, right? This ability to dream shop book, experience the entire, stay digitally and personalize that journey for you. And so as you look at our innovation agenda, whether that's putting your mind at ease when you book that, you've got a confirmed connecting room, whether that's knowing you can message the front desk, you know, how many times, uh, I know for me I'm in the room and I don't really wanna go back to the front desk. I don't really wanna call and bother them, but I could use more towels or I could use, uh, a beverage after the, the bars maybe close for the night to build a message to the front desk and have 'em respond back. That's pretty powerful. So how do we digitally engage with our customers all generations? You know, it may start with younger travelers, but I'm telling you that the boomers are just the same in terms of wanting the ease and access of a seamless digital booking experience and engaging experience.Mark: (13:01)The third is, uh, local experiences. So people go somewhere to do something typically. And so they want our hotels to help 'em connect with the neighborhoods. Where's the offbeat path? Yes, you'll see the big museum or the big, you know, sculpture in town or whatever it may be. But tell me what locals do. Where do they eat? Where do I go around here? And maybe some of that's in the hotel. Maybe we have a great, you know, Michelin star restaurant in the hotel and we can get you a reservation that you can otherwise have. So a third trend we saw was connecting with the local experience and not wanting a cookie cutter trip. Even. You know, you want a reliable hotel. And the last, and I mentioned this earlier, the dynamic of business travel has changed wildly. You know, as I think about my career and a lot of our consumers say the same thing, it was an interruption in your life.Mark: (13:41)It was, you know, I had my life at home and then I go do business travel and that's gonna stop my momentum at home. The flexibility we now all have to be virtual for an extra week. It allows us to extend a business trip into a personal trip. The ability to have your kids join you on the weekend. Suddenly now you can use that momentum of a business trip to be the catalyst for bringing your whole family along. 'cause the kids can miss a day of school or take a zoom class instead of having to be back in class. And so that journey has been blended. And so when we look at the trends across all generations, that ability to make it digitally and seamless for them is really important. The ability to be locally connected, that ability to ultimately blend the work in business, travel, uh, business and and leisure at the very top of it, the whole thing. Make sure that when you leave that hotel, you feel rested and restored. Whether that's mind, body or soul.Damian: (14:22)And in terms of your marketing calendar, your marketing cadence, you talk about all these many different streams you're looking at, how do you think about the rollout of campaigns?Mark: (14:31)A lot of markets have a natural pacing to them. There are, you know, there's golden week in China twice a year, right there, there's things that you lean into because that is a natural catalyst. We, despite all the flexibility I talked about earlier, we still in the US have big summer breaks. That's a big time to send people, you know, on holiday. But also watching customer cues, right? We were able to, a lot of the, the channels we talked about earlier are pool channels, not push channels. So as customers are engaging on video, on demand and they're watching programming about travel destinations or food destinations, let's, let's plug into that moment. Let's activate and trigger. We're watching social media all the time for moments to intercept. You know, we've got examples where there was a home sharing customer whose dad thought they booked a house for four.Mark: (15:08)It was a shed that was big enough for one person. They had two dogs and four kids. And it was crazy. We texted them and said, you know, we message 'em on Twitter and TikTok and got ahold of 'em and said, come to our hotel. Uh, we had one the other day who texted her at home sharing host and said, uh, we're at a toilet paper. Where do I find more? And they said, the supermarket. And we said, well that's crazy. Our hotel has come to our hotel, right? So you find these little human moments along the way. And so it takes the pressure outta marketing to some degree 'cause the customers are telling you when they want to hear about you. And we've got ready to go stories. The last example I would give is cultural tent poles. So we've got a long standing partnership with the Grammys.Mark: (15:43)Uh, we have a long history music. Uh, John Lennon wrote, imagine in the New York Hilton on a piece of stationary, had the bed in for peace at the Hilton in Amsterdam. Elvis did residencies. Freddie Mercury wrote a crazy little thing called Love in the Bathtub at the Hilton Frankert. Yeah. And so we belong in music, right? So Grammys becomes a big tent pole to tell our story. Formula one with McLaren and Lando Norris, uh, on a McLaren F one racing team. The big moment in the Vegas race will tell that story. So there, there are these moments where you can lean into culture, where the stay is really at the heart of what's possible and that just becomes an authentic way to connect with our customers.Damian: (16:14)I wanna ask you about sustainability and eco-conscious travel, which should become increasingly important. Can you talk about how Hilton incorporates those concepts and those initiatives into its marketing efforts to resonate with environmentally conscious travelers? ThisMark: (16:27)Is very top of mind. We have a huge responsibility. We have over a million and you know, almost a million and a half rooms across the world. And the decisions we make can make or break products for distribution. And so one of the things we did on the product side is we moved to bulk amenities. This idea that you're not gonna have those tiny little bottles that get thrown out every stay. We've got refillable bottles that are safe and secure and sealed and everything else, but the real driver was environmental impact, right? We, we are big enough that our ability to use reusable bottles for water, the ability to use refillable bottles in the, in the bath amenities, that has a huge impact on our supply chain. And so first and foremost is that second we have the ability for companies that are keeping track of their impact.Mark: (17:02)Or, you know, even for conscious consumers, we're tracking all the energy uses at our hotels and we're giving recommendations to the hotels how to save energy based on consumer behaviors. We're able to turn down the thermostats when the guests leave the room. We're able to do the things that actually make a difference. On the marketing side, it, it's kind of a funny scenario. And that customers care more than ever, as as they should. They'll tell you in a focus group, they'll pay a premium or they want to hear about they, they really don't. They, they want to have a great trip, but they wanna know underneath that great trip, you're doing the right thing. And so we're not necessarily gonna always put it front and center and say, this is an eco-conscious trip, but we better have the proof points for you that you'll know that the trip you're having that not paying a premium, but paying what you already pay includes Hilton's commitment to doing that.Mark: (17:41)So that's really important. And on the marketing side, look, we have to look at sustainable sourcing of things. We have to look at who our supply chain is with what are we buying and who are we buying it from. We built these rooms, these hotel rooms on golf courses, uh, for, you know, big golf activations and they're fun and they're great for three days. We've donated a couple of those to local schools to use as play facilities, right? So are you thinking through the entire journey and then the tricky part to your question coming back to that is just how much do customers really want to hear that story versus just know intuitively and instinctively that your brand stands for it and it's committed and the dollars they're spending are being reinvested in their communities and being reinvested for the environmental impact.Ilyse: (18:17)What emerging trends or channels do you see as having the most significant impact on Hilton's marketing strategy in 2024?Mark: (18:26)I look back to where we are today versus when I studied marketing, uh, you know, a number of years ago in school, too many years ago in school. And, you know, the channels we're using most today didn't even exist. Literally did not exist. Social media was not even really a thing. Uh, and suddenly here it is our number one channel for a number of ways to connect with customers. And so we will rejoice in the fact that marketing is job is always and will continue to be great storytelling. And that's not going anywhere. That is the heart of what we do. What will change and continue to accelerate for us is how we do that more on social, right? More on streaming and video on demand. You know, as you start to pivot from, I think this year was the first year that consumers officially watch more video not on linear TV than than on linear tv.Mark: (19:04)That trend will continue and so we'll need to meet them where they are on streaming and video on demand and YouTube and other platforms. You'll see us show up in TikTok and Instagram and show up on the platforms where we can tell authentic, credible stories. I think the more fun part for us is giving away the keys to the castle a bit, right? So we're gonna be doing more with creators and letting them tell their authentic story about a Hilton's day. And while you might not always have all the brand controls you have, the authenticity outweighs the impact of losing a little bit of your ability to control for every sentence and every, you know, color that they use in in their work. And then lastly, we'll look for ways to activate, um, at big cultural tent pole moments, showing up in an activational way with experiential marketing to let customers truly experience what our brand stands for in the moments that matter most to them, reminding them that it matters where you stay and that Hilton is for this day.Damian: (19:51)That's it for this edition of the current podcast. We'll be back next week. So stay tuned.Ilyse: (19:56)The current podcast is produced by Wonder Media Network. Our theme is by love and caliber. The current team includes Chris Leyer and Cat fei.Damian: (20:05)And remember, youMark: (20:07)Realize very quickly we actually don't own the brand that customers do. Their perception becomes reality. Their reality becomes the brand. So we better meet them where they are.Damian: (20:15)I'm Damien andIlyse: (20:16)I'm AiseDamian: (20:17)And we'll see you next time.

A Rich Legacy of Innovation: A Q&A with Hilton on Providing Exceptional Hospitality for Honors Program Members

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 3, 2023 24:22 Transcription Available

In 1919, Conrad Hilton was on his way to buy a bank in Cisco, TX. When the price was raised at the last moment, Hilton left the deal on the table, quickly pivoted, and purchased the 40-room Mobley Hotel located in the same town. This decision would forever change the world of hospitality. It wasn't until 1925 that the first hotel bearing the name Hilton was opened in downtown Dallas, TX, targeting business travelers while also offering downtown shoppers a place to stay. This was the first newly constructed hotel for the brand, with exciting amenities such as elevators and laundry chutes. Forward-thinking design helped combat the heat of the hot Dallas sun; no guest rooms were built on the western-facing side of the building. Innovation, embracing new technologies, and a passion for delivering exceptional stays to guests continue to fuel the purpose and vision of today's Hilton. Its award-winning Hilton Honors loyalty program leads the industry in creating seamless digital experiences while rewarding members early with valuable points earning and redemption opportunities. Mark Johnson, CEO of Loyalty360, spoke with Brad Anderson, Vice President of Hilton Honors Program Strategy at Hilton, about the program's built-in customization and flexibility, technology enhancements to ensure guest experiences are valuable, and collecting customer feedback on active products.

In the Playa (brand) ... Family Of Resorts! Dominican Republic, Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resorts You know you want to visit the Dominican Republic. The blue waters and sugary sand are calling your name... BUT, GOSH DARN IT! Too Many Choices How do you sort through all the all-inclusive properties!? Picking the right one, or the wrong one, could make or break your vacation. This week I welcome back my recent guest, Michelle Tatum, to discuss her very recent trip to four Playa Hotels and Resorts in the Dominican Republic. Topics include: Language is both English and Spanish. The locals dominantly speak Spanish. Use this as an opportunity to practice those rusty skills! Give it a try, it will go a long way with your hosts! It is a small kindness that shows you care! Dollars are accepted on property. Tipping - not necessary for included services. However, make sure to tip for added services. These include your room butler and spa technicians. Two Family Resorts: Hyatt Ziva... This family property is on the nicest beach (Michelle's trust worthy opinion). It is super high-end, described as located in the "Beverly Hills" area, while maintaining a playful color scheme that appeals to families. On this property families will find kids clubs (Drop them off for your DAILY DATE with your partner) or race each other on the four abreast slide in the water park. Little ones can enjoy water play on the splash pad. https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/0/037e01ef-c3bb-4048-9bb2-f57e8e9144e2/HC8PxzdJ.jpg Hungry?

PUMP IT UP - This resort features a purpose built, state-of-the-art, 14,000 sq ft fitness center. Spaces include yoga areas, Peloton bikes, free weights, cross fit and more! Hilton La Romana: This is a recently aquired and renovated property ( it was formerly a Dreams property). It's about a 75 minute drive from Punta Cana and a 55min drive from the La Romana airport. Pack some snacks for the drive - you won't regret it! The drive is worth it! Are you a Hilton Honors member? You can earn Hilton Honors points at this property too! This resort just opened a water park that is hyped to be larger than the Ziva. Jump in and get the vacation started! Rooms are similar set up with options and connections to the Hyatt Ziva. Of note, there is an age restriction on the Ocean Front Jr. Suite Swim Out Rooms due it's proximity to the adults only side of the property (Hyatt Zilara). Dining options are plentiful to include Italian, French, Souther American, Grilled Seafood and more! Hello high rollers! Put it all on RED. This property boasts a casino! ADULTS ONLY PROPERTIES: Sanctuary: Take a step inside... are you in the DR or a romantic castle ruin somewhere in the Mediterranean? There a six pools, swim ups too, and roof top pool! The beach is private to the resort. There are only 323 suits giving this property a very boutique feel. Some suits offer butler service with 17 categories in total (don't let that overwhelm you; call your travel agent). The highest level suit is a private island option boasting several pools within the suit itself! The dark woods of the decor with remind you of colonial style but with contemporary couches, chairs and other modern touches. https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/0/037e01ef-c3bb-4048-9bb2-f57e8e9144e2/RpmjC85c.jpg On site activities include a Healthy Corner for health nuts to find smoothies and activities catered to them.

On today’s show we’re talking about hotels and some of what’s happening in the hotel industry. The first major trend is that the hotel landscape is changing dramatically. Major hotels chains are launching more and more brands as they try to gain market advantage. Here’s what I believe. The value of a brand is called its brand equity. There is a ladder of brand equity that starts at the very basics Brand Awareness Brand Preference Brand Insistence Brand Advocacy I’m a pretty astute world traveler. I’ve visited over 55 countries in the world. That’s not going to break any records. But it’s fair to say that I’ve traveled. I’ve stayed in roadside hotels on the freeway at under 40 Euros a night, and I’ve stayed in luxury 5 star properties from Shangri La in Asia. I’ve stayed in Taj hotels in India, and Accor Group Hotels all over Europe. When it comes to hotels, I find that I struggle to keep pace with the proliferation of hotel brands. It’s like there is a hotel brand arms race underway. All the major hotel groups including Hilton, Marriott, IHG, Best Western and Hyatt have multiplied their brands. ntercontinental Hotels purchased Kimpton Hotels back in 2015. The company breaks down their business into Mainstream hotels and luxury and lifestyle. Their best known brands is Holiday Inn. Atwell, Avid are new brands that complement Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express as part of their mainstream portfolio. Some of the growth has taken place through acquisition, but much has happened as a result of launching new brands with positioning. Luxury and lifestyles (Intercontinental has 65 hotels under development). There are new brands like Regent, 6 senses resorts, and Indigo. Almost all of the 6,000 hotels in the IHG portfolio are owned by independent 3rd parties. At Hilton, they’ve added new brands like Tempo, Motto, Signia, Canopy, Tru, Home2, Homewood Suites, the Curio Collection and the Tapestry Collection. Marriott is now the largest hotel group in the world after having acquired the Starwood Group that owns Sheraton, and Westin. Hyatt has expanded with new brands including Andaz, Alila, and Thompson Hotels. The hotel groups are eyeing the growth of the middle class on a global basis as the main driver for demand. There has been considerable focus in the industry on bringing additional value to guests through loyalty programs. Someone who earns their Hilton Honors points at the airport Hilton when traveling for business will use their points at a vacation destination using one of the other brands when traveling for leisure. Today’s traveler is looking for specific amenities. When I travel, whether it’s for business or pleasure, the number one amenity that I look for is a refrigerator in the room. If it doesn’t have a fridge, I’m not staying there. It’s common in the downtown core of a major city to see many competing hotel brands, when in fact many are The seven largest hotel companies boast a mind numbing 134 brands. There has been so much consolidation in the hotel industry that even iconic family run hotel names like Waldorf Astoria, Fairmont and Ritz Carleton, are all part of a global conglomerate. So why are the hotel companies proliferating the number of brands? Strong brands like those under the Marriott and Hilton families attract the most visitors. They also attract the highest valuations from the REITs that aim to purchase performing hotels.

#237 - Wenn ein Hotel einem Gast mit Buchung kein Zimmer geben kann, dann heisst das "walk out". So etwas passiert leider wenn Hotels überbucht sind und alle Gäste angereist sind, dann beissen die letzten die Hunde. Einem Status Gast sollte dies nicht passieren, aber kann durch aus mal sein. Bei Hilton gibt es da ganz klare Regeln um für den Gast die Situation nicht noch unangenehmer zu machen.Umzug und Kompensation von MitgliedernDer Gast muss nach Möglichkeit in einem anderen Hotel der Hilton Gruppe untergebracht werden. Das Hotel muss die vollen Kosten der ersten Übernachtung einschließlich aller anfallenden Kosten wie Transport und Telefonanrufe an Familienmitglieder und Geschäftspartner bezahlen.Das Hotel muss ein Online-Formular ausfüllen und an Hilton senden, um sicherzustellen, dass der Gast die Stay- / night credit und alle mit dem Aufenthalt verbundenen Punkte erhält, als wenn der Gast nicht gegangen wo anders untergebracht wurde wäre.Der Hoteldirektor muss schriftlich nachfassen und sich für den Vorfall entschuldigen und ein Upgrade und / oder eine VIP-Behandlung anbieten, wenn der Gast für den Rest seines Aufenthalts ins Hotel zurückkehrt.Umgesiedelten Gästen müssen die BESTEN VERFÜGBAREN Zimmer angeboten werden, wenn sie zur Beendigung des Aufenthalts in Dias Hotel zurückkehren.Das Hotel muss die Gästebetreuung über die betroffenen Gäste informieren.Diamond-Mitglieder sollten die letzten Gäste sein, wenn Gäste wo anders untergebracht werden müssen.

Hampton by Hilton 100% Satisfaction guarantee

#184 - 100% Satisfaction guarantee von Hampton by Hilton ist diese nur ein Wunsch oder ist diese Wirklichkeit? Der Text dieses Versprechens liest sich so: “If you’re not 100% satisfied, we don’t expect you to pay. That’s our promise and your guarantee.” Also alles sehr eindeutig. Wenn man nicht zu 100% zufrieden ist, dann zahlt man auch nichts. Jetzt wollen wir mal die Kirche im Dorf lassen und schauen wie das gemeint ist. Ich interpretiere es so, dass alles was im Machtbereich des Hotels liegt auch unter diese Garantie fällt. Ein Zimmer zur Baustelle (Lärm als Stichwort oder nicht so hübsche Aussicht) ist unangenehm, aber nicht wirklich ein Grund diese Garantie zu beanspruchen. Wenn Personal ungeschult, frech oder einfach nur nicht seine Arbeit macht, dann ist das ganz klar ein Grund. In meinem Fall geht es um das Hampton by Hilton Berlin City Eastside Gallery. Da war das Personal herablassend und auch nicht engagiert. (nicht alle aber Frau Völz im besonderen) Das man sich entschieden hat unhöflich und kundenunfreundlich zu sein ist ganz klar eine Entscheidung des Hotels / Personals. Und deshalb gilt diese Garantie absolut. Was passiert ist und was ich gemacht habe in dieser Ausgabe.Abonniere uns, damit du keine Folge verpasst!Vereinbare noch heute Deine kostenlose Beratung.

#151-Der Hilton Gold Status war schon unzählige Male Thema in unseren Podcasts. Das liegt an zwei Dingen: Einerseits ist er dank kostenfreiem Frühstück, Zimmerupgrades und 80% Punktebonus einer der wertvollsten mittleren Statuslevels überhaupt, andererseits lässt er sich unglaublich einfach erreichen. Neben dem Weg über die Hilton Kreditkarte oder die American Express Platinum Card war eine bislang beliebte Option der Statusmatch. Inhaber eines Status eines Wettbewerbers wurden je nach Statuslevel für 90 Tage entweder auf Gold oder Diamond gematcht. Innerhalb dieser 90 Tage mussten 4 bzw. 8 Aufenthalte absolviert werden, um den Gold bzw. Diamond Status auch nach dem Probezeitraum zu behalten.Nun wurde diese Challenge angepasst. Per Match wird nur noch der Goldstatus für 90 Tage vergeben. Anschließend haben Teilnehmer 90 Tage Zeit um entweder mindestens 8 Nächte für den Goldstatus oder 18 Nächte für den Diamond Status bis März 2021 zu absolvieren.Abonniere uns, damit du keine Folge verpasst!Vereinbare noch heute Deine kostenlose Beratung.

#144-Wie finde ich das für mich passende Hotelprogramm? Der eine schwört auf Hyatt, der nächste ist der festen Überzeugung, dass Hilton Honors das beste Hotelprogramm überhaupt ist. Unser Fazit: Beide können Recht haben, dass bei ihrem Reiseverhalten das jeweilige Programm ideal ist. In dieser Folge vergleichen wir die Programme von Marriott, IHG, Hilton und Hyatt miteinander und erklären für wen sich welches Programm eignet. Die entscheidenen Faktoren hierbei sind der Footprint der jeweiligen Ketten, die Nutzerfreundlichkeit, die Statusqualifikation, die Statusvorteile und natürlich der Gegenwert der mit Aufenthalten gesammelten Punkte. In allen dieser Kategorien gibt es große Unterschiede. Während Hyatt mit tollen Statusbenefits auwarten kann, sind zumindest die Standorte in Europa stark limitiert. Marriott bietet mit seinen unzähligen Marken Hotels jeder Stadt und Preisklasse an, verwirrt allerdings mit unterschiedlichen Regelungen zu Benefits je nach Hotelkette, während IHG sich bei den Benefits generell sehr stark zurückhält, dafür aber bei der Punktevergabe äußerst spendabel ist. Hilton glänzt mit kostenfreiem Frühstück bereits ab dem Goldstatus und einer sehr einfachen Statusqualifikation, jedoch sind die gesammelten Punkte verhältnismäßig wenig wert. Wie du siehst hat jedes Programm ganz individuelle Vor- und Nachteile. In dieser Folge helfen wir Dir, herauszufinden, welches Programm für dich passt. Wenn Du weitere Fragen hast, helfen wir Dir gerne mit unserer kostenfreien Erstberatung weiter und finden das passende Programm für Dich.Minute 13:10 es ist nicht das Mercure gemeint, sondern Crown Plaza.

This episode is about key apps to make your travel more enjoyable. We share the apps we use to plan our trips, the apps we use to get around while on vacation, and other apps that help us with impromptu decisions. We know that having a well planned vacation is a fun vacation, and we want to help you discover that too. We talk about the six apps or types of apps that help us plan trips in advance, so we don’t waste our valuable vacation time having to decide what to do and where to go. We also talk about the apps that help us get around once we are at our vacation destination. We also talk about some apps that we love to use to add local flavor. Show Notes [02:30] TripAdvisor gives you access to lists with details of things to do, places to eat, and places to stay. [03:01] It's great for researching fun things to do at new locations. [04:03] We use Yelp all the time. It's great for finding restaurants. [05:31] When you put in pizza, it provides you with all of the nearby places with pictures and reviews. [07:45] Yelp is also great for finding fun things to do. You can also create bookmarks and have lists of great places to visit. [08:57] It also gives you a map of all of your bookmarked locations. [09:49] Chris is a Hilton Honors member, and he has found the Hilton app to be very user-friendly. You can use it to check in and get a digital key. You can also use it to check out. [10:52] Hilton will also give you the lowest possible price when searching. [11:24] Hotel chain memberships are free. Sign up and you earn points as you stay. Also be sure to download the app. [13:15] Airline apps. Southwest, Delta, and American. If you're a rewards member, all of the up-to-date information will be on the app. This is helpful if there are any changes. Make sure you're logged in while traveling. [15:29] You can also track your bags. Plus it gives you access to music and entertainment. [16:50] Airbnb and VRBO are apps to rent homes, condos, and apartments. They are vacation rentals or sometimes in people's homes. These are great for getting beach houses. [18:09] Sometimes people are shy about using these. The app gives you access to locations all over the world. We balance the cost and the location. Sharing these can get you a really nice place that is affordable. [19:12] These are great for beach, mountains, and the city. There are also great perks like communal space and a kitchen. [20:52] You can read reviews and also communicate with the owner with email or phone calls. [22:14] YouTube is great for travel. You can learn so much like the video version of what you find with the pictures in the apps. We used it in Paris for a tour of the Louvre. [23:51] All six of these apps are great for planning trips. Especially, when you don't know a lot about the destination. [24:19] Apps that help us get around with these once we are at a location. [24:25] Google Maps is great for planning and getting around. You can also select walk or mass transit choices. [25:11] You can pinpoint locations and see how far they are from each other. [27:09] Waze is a GPS social media type map. It has GPS and live social input. You can also change the voice on Waze. [29:44] GasBuddy is a great way to find the best places to get gas with prices. Gas prices can fluctuate by 10 or 20 cents a gallon. It also shows you where the gas stations are. Don't let your gas get less than a quarter of a tank. [31:34] Lyft and Uber are phenomenal. You can save cash and it's easy. [33:16] We usually use Lyft in Vegas. Check the license plate and make sure you are getting in the right car. Lyft and Uber are everywhere and accessible. They also have scheduled pickups now. [37:48] Apps that we love to add some local flavor. We leave down time for resting and while we're here decisions. [38:47] Yelp, TripAdvisor and Top 10 Lists all help to find and provide local flair. Most cities will provide you with these lists in local papers.
