In response to this shift and an increased appetite for face-to-face meetings, Accor today announces a new offer to support business travelers returning to in-person meetings and events.
Until 30th June 2022, guests booking meetings and events taking place up until 31st August 2022 at over 300 participating hotels will benefit from Accor’s new flexible terms, including:
- free cancellation up to 14 days in advance for meetings and events of up to 30 people
- commission paid on deposit at the time of payment*
- commission paid on full cancellation fees*
The new meeting and events space offer, designed with business customers in mind, aims to reassure guests that they can book with confidence, knowing additional flexibility has been built into their booking.
The new offer is also supported by Accor’s ALLSAFE label, providing enhanced hygiene and prevention measures and guaranteeing a safe meeting and event experience at all Accor hotels and venues.
Dana Lewis, VP MICE, Leisure & Luxury M&E Accor said “After successfully navigating the challenges of the pandemic, businesses are increasingly moving to reconnect with clients and colleagues in-person. Accor’s research shows that business professionals expect to make an average of 23% more deals and 25% more revenue if they are able to meet face-to-face, and we are pleased to support this transition by offering convenient and flexible booking solutions and a great place to meet.”
Guests of the new meeting offer can also take advantage of further benefits by using Accor’s ALL Meeting Planner. Each time a booking is made with Accor, customers can accrue points to use as discounts against future events.
Hotel and events guests are also able to calculate the carbon footprint of their stays and events by using Accor’s net zero carbon calculator. Use of the calculator unlocks an added discount of 1 in 10 on a day delegate rate** while supporting Accor’s contribution towards net-zero carbon hospitality and supporting sustainability projects around the world.
Professionals wishing to take part in the offer to book a meeting or event should contact the participating hotel directly quoting: The time is now
