Exclusive Discounts for Tourism Workers as Robinsons Hotels and Resorts Celebrate World Tourism Day

Robinsons Hotels and Resorts (RHR) is rolling out the red carpet for the heroes of the tourism industry to celebrate World Tourism Day. In partnership with the Department of Tourism (DOT), RHR is offering a month-long celebration from September 3 to October 7, 2024, with exclusive discounts as a heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated professionals who keep the tourism industry moving forward.

The World Tourism Day, which is celebrated annually on September 27, is a global reminder of tourism’s vital role in the economy, environment, and culture. This year’s theme emphasizes responsible travel, support for local communities, and sustainable tourism practices. It’s a day for tourism organizations, governments, and travelers to unite in sharing innovative ideas for the future of tourism.

“World Tourism Day is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the people who make the tourism industry thrive. Through our partnership with the DOT, we aim to showcase the beauty and vibrancy of the Philippines while also offering our guests a chance to experience it firsthand with our special promotions,” said Barun Jolly, Senior Vice President and Business Unit Head of Robinsons Hotels and Resorts. “Our commitment to supporting the tourism workforce is unwavering, and this initiative is our way of giving back to the community.”

Robinsons Hotels & Resorts offers exclusive discounts across its 30 properties nationwide to honor the tourism industry’s dedicated professionals. From September 3 to October 7, 2024, guests can enjoy 20% off the prevailing Best Available Rate for non-accredited tourism enterprises and 25% off for DOT-accredited tourism enterprises. This special offer is available at Go Hotels, Go Hotels Plus, Summit Hotels, and Grand Summit Hotels, providing travelers exceptional value and comfort. For those looking to indulge in luxury, Westin Manila and the twin towers of Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria and Holiday Inn all located in Ortigas CBD offers the same discount rates on a minimum two-night stay. Meanwhile, Fili Nustar Cebu and Dusit Thani Mactan Cebu will both apply the same discount rates of 20% and 25% based on DOT accreditation. This special promotion ensures travelers the perfect time to explore and unwind.

The promotion is available for walk-ins, email and direct calls to the properties. To avail the discount, the tourism worker must show their valid work ID and to enjoy the additional 5% discount, they should also show a photo or proof of their or employer’s DOT accreditation. Selling period is until October 7 for stays until October 8, 2024.

In alignment with this celebration, DOT-NCR has launched the “Into the Heart of the City” campaign, featuring a seven-minute audiovisual presentation (AVP) that captures the essence of Metro Manila. The video interprets Gabby Malvar’s essay, showcasing the city’s diverse culture, historical sites, and everyday life through a montage of time lapses, tracking shots, and wide-angle views. The campaign aims to inspire domestic and international travelers to explore the unique and authentic experiences that Metro Manila offers, and for tourism workers, it provides an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the city they work in, enhancing their ability to provide memorable experiences for travelers.

According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the tourism industry is a crucial driver of global economic growth and creates one in ten jobs worldwide. In the Philippines, tourism remains a significant economic pillar, providing livelihoods to millions and showcasing the country’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. This is a testament to the importance and value of the work done by tourism professionals.

Robinsons Hotels and Resorts invites everyone to take advantage of these special offers and embark on an adventure to explore, discover new experiences, and create lasting memories.
