New meetings package helps planners make their budgets go even further

September 28, 2009 // Franchising.com // Now more than ever, it's important for meeting planners to demonstrate value for money when booking meetings and events. InterContinental Hotels & Resorts is responding to this need by launching Meetings Options, a cost effective, fully flexible meetings package that offers great savings for meeting planners.

New bespoke meetings package from InterContinental Hotels & Resorts Available at close to 60 hotels across Europe, Middle East and Africa, Meetings Options is a bespoke package that allows meeting planners the flexibility to choose the elements that best suit their needs. Meeting planners can choose three additional benefits from a choice of nine. These include complimentary guest room upgrades, complimentary welcome reception, Priority Club® Rewards Points vouchers. Guests may also make donations amounting to 1% of total net rooms revenue to National Geographic Society's Center for Sustainable Destinations.

Meetings Options also comes with a special attrition allowance of up to 30%, so that in the event actual delegate numbers decrease from the time of booking, meeting planners may have the benefit of spending less. Meetings Options is available for all group bookings of 10 guestrooms or more. The offer is valid until 31 August 2010.
