EVERYONE BENEFITS FROM SELECT PREFERRED PARTNER RELATIONSHIPS
The SELECT program is continuously growing and evolving to provide value to travel advisors , and of course , travelers . Advisors can trust the expertise and assistance SELECT provides because of the strong , industry-leading relationships with preferred partners such as Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts , Hyatt Hotels , The Peninsula Hotels , Dorchester Collection and others .
Travelers can feel confident that by booking any participating hotel or resort you are choosing the highest levels of comfort , quality and service .
Guests can always look forward to memory-making stays that include perks such as 100 USD hotel credit , complimentary breakfast or breakfast credit , free Wi-Fi , availability-based upgrades and early check-in and late check-out . Some even offer distinct options such as round-trip transfers , a welcome amenity or a themed gift . This is the amenity-driven standard that a SELECT booking offers .
PARTNERS EAGERLY WANT TO CONNECT WITH SELECT
The luxury hospitality industry is a small world , and SELECT is fortunately connected to some truly amazing partners . Some reach out directly , while others may ask a current member hotel for a referral to be added to the program . Due to the strong reputation SELECT has established , they can also easily connect with new partners at events such as ILTM / Reed Exhibitions or DUCO Italy and France , as well as via tourism boards and SELECT In-Country Partners .
NEW PARTNERS ARE CAREFULLY SELECTED FOR THE INTERNOVA SELECT PROGRAM
Travelers and advisors are always top of mind when a new property is considered for the SELECT program , and partnership decisions are informed by multiple factors to assure the product is a good fit with the brand , as well as current member hotels .
Great care is taken to ensure any new additions provide value . For example , does it make sense to add another hotel in a city like Rome , where there are several , gorgeous properties ? The SELECT team thinks it does — if it ’ s the right fit — as it provides travel advisors and customers with access to the newest kid in town and perhaps some new adventures !
Once a property is on the SELECT radar , there is an extensive vetting process to maintain the highest quality standard . Next , the team gains further information from their network to review particularly standout details , and assess whether advisors think the property would be suitable for the program .
