Hyatt requires planners to book their two events by December 31, 2026, and both events must be actualized before December 31, 2029. Planners that meet these requirements will be rewarded with perks that will enhance their event experience.
According to Michael Balyeat, director of sales and marketing at Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk, the collaboration will ensure seamless functions while offering planners perks and unforgettable experiences.
Some of the perks are as follows: Planners who book at two qualifying hotels will receive a 2 percent rooms revenue rebate and double World of Hyatt points. The incentives continue up to four properties and quadruple World of Hyatt points.
“This incredible group of hotels showcase some of the most iconic destinations around the country, providing groups a flexible and streamlined way to experience new and exciting locations for their gatherings each year,” Balyeat said in a press release.
