Bonvoy remains elite abroad

Best Elite Program — Hotels, Middle East & Asia/Oceania · Marriott Bonvoy

Marriott Bonvoy wins Best Elite Program in Middle East & Asia/Oceania.

Marriott has accumulated an extraordinary Freddie history around elite recognition through Marriott Rewards, Bonvoy and the legacy of Starwood Preferred Guest that became part of the combined company.

What makes this regional win particularly interesting is Marriott’s vast luxury footprint across Asia and the Middle East.

Elite benefits become more noticeable when breakfast isn’t a muffin in a paper bag.

Upgrades become more interesting when the hotel has villas.

Late checkout becomes more valuable when the alternative involves five hours at an airport.

Bonvoy’s elite program isn’t simple.

But frequent travelers have never demanded simplicity as much as value.

Freddie voters found enough of it.

Another elite trophy enters a very crowded Marriott cabinet.
