MIAMI — Karisma Hotels & Resorts’ new promotion for groups – or rather, ‘GREWPS’ (groups, reunions, events, weddings, play, social) – offers one free room for every six paid plus a US$250 resort credit, for a limited time.
“Creating custom events for groups is an integral part of Karisma Hotels & Resorts’ success and we’re excited to introduce new incentives for the deserving partners focused on this important segment,” said Faith Wishnie, Executive Director of Wedding Services, Karisma Hotels & Resorts.
“We are increasingly focused on introducing our Gourmet Inclusive Experience to groups of every size from weddings and family reunions to corporate retreats, large and small. Following the recent launch of new tools and programs, it’s a terrific next step to now reward agents and meeting planners who are making Karisma’s properties top destinations for groups and meetings alike.”
Once the six rooms of weeklong travel are confirmed, the extra room and resort credit can be carried over for additional client use or personal redeeming for a Karisma Hotels & Resorts experience, including wine, spa, candlelit dinners and private events.
The promotion is valid for bookings until Aug. 31, 2016 for travel Jan. 3, 2017 – Dec. 22, 2017. The GREWPS promotion can be combined with several additional savings incentives including up to $1,000 in client savings, the Pick Your Perks program, complimentary private banquet events, complimentary wedding packages and a maximum of 21% commission per booking.
