Red Planet Hotels Upgrades App and Launches Affiliate Programme

Thailand-based Red Planet Hotels has upgraded its app and launched an affiliate programme it has called Referred, which offers cash commissions for members.

Red Planet's app is not only a booking portal, but also provides an In-Stay Mode with a range of features to help maximise guests' enjoyment during their stay.

From the moment a guest makes a booking, the app provides them with a direct chat line to hotel staff to answer any special requests or questions before and during their stay.

In addition, guests can look up and obtain directions to local attractions, receive information on local events in their destination city and utilise a room-to-room and front desk telephone line through the app when in the hotel.

Red Planet's Referred programme encourages members to promote its hotels to their family, friends, colleagues and social networks through their personal Referred link and earn cash commissions for each paid reservation. This will also be extended to organisations, associations and websites wishing to participate.

"None of our competitors offer the new functionalities of our app or provide an opportunity for guests to monetise their loyalty through an affiliate programme," said Tim Hansing, CEO of Red Planet Hotels. "This positions us as the true market leader in our segment. There is no one else in the region that comes close to offering this level of innovation. It is ground-breaking and highly relevant to our guests and is based on a significant amount of market research undertaken by the company."

Red Planet currently owns and operates an expanding network of 25 hotels in the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, and Thailand.
