Accor launches 'Smart Meetings' in over 100 hotels throughout Asia

Accor, the leading international operator of hotels in Asia-Pacific, has launched a major campaign 'Smart Meetings' which offers meeting planners a generous 20% discount on rooms, breakfasts and meeting packages at more than 100 hotels across Asia. Designed to drive meetings and event business, the Smart Meetings offer is available for inhouse  events which include 10 - 80 rooms (minimum one night) until 1 September 2013 (*in Greater China this is extended to 30 September). In addition, members of Le Club Accorhotels rewards program can earn double Meeting Planner points to use towards either their next event or a personal break after their meeting.



The Smart Meetings offer is just part of Accor's new focus on better serving meeting planners and comes at a time when the group has revamped its dedicated meetings website and launched a new e-brochure which assists meeting planners in selecting the right hotel for their budget and needs.

"Last year in Asia-Pacific, Accor saw a significant increase in the number of business group and incentive travellers to our hotels," said Kerry Healy, Director of Sales - Leisure, Meetings, and Events for Accor Asia-Pacific. "This very healthy trend is continuing into this year and we expect our 'Smart Meetings' offer to drive even more business, as we further raise awareness of the variety and quality of our meeting product.

"We believe this offer will encourage meeting planners to experience our great range of conference and event hotels in key destinations across the region."

Terms and conditions apply. For more information, please visit www.accorhotels.com/meetings

*Participating hotels in Greater China have a longer booking period which is until 15th September and valid for stays from 1 May to 30 September.
