Loyalty programs with experiential offerings can be a crucial way for hotels to win and retain guests.


To learn more about this topic, sign up for Hotel Dive’s virtual event on Wednesday, Aug.12, at 12 p.m. ET — now just a few weeks away! There, Lucy Werner, senior vice president of global partnerships at Marriott International, will sit down with Hotel Dive Senior Reporter Jenna Graber for a discussion on how hotels can tap into experiential offerings to build brand loyalty.


The session is part of “Lasting loyalty: Winning and keeping today’s consumer,” co-hosted by our sister publications Marketing Dive, Restaurant Dive and CX Dive.
