HotelClub members in Asia can now grab a bargain with the launch of a weekly hotel Flash Sale programme.
Beginning in February, the deals offer a 40- to 60-per cent discount to one hand-picked four- or five-star international hotel and are only available for 24 hours.
Each Flash Sale offer is based on its high score in the HotelClub Deal Attribute Index. This measures demand for a particular location including cities and beaches, upcoming events such as Valentine’s Day, vacancy in high-quality hotels, positive hotel reviews from HotelClub members, availability of forward booking dates and the best possible rates.
Jeremy Bellinghausen, President of HotelClub, said that following the success of the global accommodation website’s weekly Flash Sales for Australian members, there has been high demand from members in Asia for such a programme.
“The feedback from our customers has indicated that the limited time offer and deep discounts provide the impetus for travellers who are planning a trip, but haven’t yet booked,” Bellinghausen said.
“Our on-the-ground experts, combined with extensive booking data, have given us a solid indication of both regional and international destinations that will appeal to members in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and beyond. As travellers in Asia look to explore more places, we want to provide deals for getaways that won’t break the bank,” he added.
HotelClub’s Flash Sales are available to members in 14 Asian countries including Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Members can use their rewards to decrease the price of their accommodation further, while also earning rewards for their next trip.
Each flash sale destination will be revealed on Thursdays at 9 am AEDT (6 am Singapore and Malaysia time), starting from 9 February 2012. Travellers can view the deals via an e-mail to members, updates on HotelClub’s Facebook and Twitter pages and a banner on HotelClub’s homepage at www.hotelclub.com.
Some upcoming Flash Sale destinations include Taipei (Taiwan), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), and Osaka (Japan).
Members from the following 14 Asian locations are eligible for HotelClub’s Flash Sales: China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Myanmar, North Korea, The Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
