EDITOR'S COMMENT
12/05/21
• The grass is certainly beginning to look greener as hotels start to bring back employees and announce reopening dates. Here in the UK, the long awaited 17 May go-ahead is just around the corner. A recent survey by Guestline revealed that digital marketing strategies ranked amongst the top priorities for UK hoteliers ahead of this date, along with other online guest-facing technology. This is perhaps unsurprising when you think about the vast number of properties that will be battling for business over the coming months.
To help with the recovery, Hotel Employee Rate has launched. Founded by Julia Mayrhofer and John Laclé in direct response to the pandemic, the travel program will provide hotel employees and up to 10 friends and family discounted rates across properties worldwide.
Having worked at an independent and branded hotel, my experience of employee benefits have been exclusively dependent on the property or company. This is the first I've come across where employee perks span farther afield in terms of location and who else can take advantage. Judging by the number of hotels and resorts that have already joined the program, I can see Hotel Employee Rate moving from strength to strength.
It's a fantastic initiative that allows hotel workers to support their own industry and I wish Mayrhofer and Laclé the very best in growing the business.
