The Caravelle Hotel in Ho Chi Minh city,
Vietnam, has launched the Caravelle Heritage Club (CHC), a
frequent patronage programme for regular guests. Repeat patrons
can rack up CHC points that can be redeemed for accommodation in
several categories of rooms and suites, for use of the hotel’s
meetings rooms, for gift vouchers and other perks.
For every 20,000 dong ($1.10) spent on rooms at the hotel, members
receive 1 CHC point. A single room night at the Caravelle, or any
of its nine partner hotels within Vietnam, can be redeemed for
3,500 CHC points. At rack rate, this formula gives up a free room
for every 12.5 nights’ stay in a standard Caravelle room.
Members of the CHC also receive a suite of
default benefits, including a 10% discount on all food and
beverage purchases, a buffet dinner voucher for redemption during
the month of the member’s birthday, welcome fruit bowls,
guaranteed room availability for reservations made 24 hours in
advance and early check-in and late check-out.
The patronage program also lets guests
redeem CHC points for stays at some of Vietnam’s other leading,
independent hotels and resorts, including The Nam Hai and the
Princess d’Annam Resort and Spa.
“Loyalty reward
programs are par for the course at large chain hotels but a much
tougher proposition for an independent property,” said John
Gardner, general manager of the Caravelle. “The formation of the
CHC lets us couple our one-of-a-kind appeal to a loyalty program
that rewards our regulars.”
Membership in the
program is free to qualifying applicants. Application can be made
at the hotel’s website, or at the reception desk.
