Centara Hotels Discounts: Travel Industry Rates – Thailand, Sri Lanka, Maldives

By Leave a Comment

Deal At A Glance

Link: Centara Hotels
Details:  Simply follow the link above and enter TIMA into the promo code box.
Book By: Ongoing, however availability at some hotels availability seems limited so the advice would be to get bookings in as soon as possible ahead of any trip.
Eligibility: Available to those in the industry. As they state elsewhere on their site, this includes travel agency, hotel or resort, airline, car rental company or cruise-line. I.D will be required at check-in.
Potential Savings: We found savings of around 15% against the early booking deals, so savings would potentially be far higher against standard room rates.
Ease Of Use: Fairly easy, however it’s annoying that on choosing a destination it doesn’t then filter out the hotels that aren’t in that destination (so the list remains lengthy).

 

Further Information

We’ve been waiting for a good Centara deal…

Centara have hotels in a wide range of destinations, including Thailand (Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket etc), Sri Lanka, Maldives, Oman, Vietnam and Qatar.

They are also truly exceptional hotels – affordable but also luxurious, well-equipped and with a wonderful level of service. We love Centara and will definitely be taking advantage of this offer (so get your bookings in quickly before we do).

Their site is also well organised, with a selection of images and also key information for each of their hotels.

Further Information

World Hotels is a site that brings together more than 100 independent hotels from, as the name suggests, around the world.

They have divided their hotels into three categories – Luxury, Elite and Distinctive – though, to be honest, these are all beautiful hotels and the categories do not necessarily relate to the cost of rooms, for example we found many hotels in the luxury camp with room rates below those in the distinctive group.

What we can say is that there are hotels for every type of trip, whether it is heading to a city for business or an isolated beach setting for something altogether more romantic.

You can see all their hotels by heading to their map page and then using the filters to narrow down your search.

We haven’t checked the savings on every hotel (we have other deals to write up…) but we tested a few and found savings that hit the magical 50% mark.

Happy Monday from all at Travel Industry Discounts!

By Leave a Comment

We’ve been busy working away, so sorry for the lack of updates in recent weeks. As you may or may not know, we all work in different aspects of the UK Travel Industry, and for the last 3 years have been sharing our tips and hints and deals exclusively for those who work in the Travel Industry!

We’re now updating all of our main / chain hotels – the 2017 Cheat Sheet (a handy 1 page guide to all hotel discounts) is our most popular page, so we’ll be prioritising that and will let you know when that’s up to date.

We have in the past negotiated exclusive hotel offers, airport car parking and travel insurance offers for you. We’re hoping to add car hire to that soon (one of our most popular requests), along with airport lounge discounts – and a guide to how to maximise cheap flights using Avios (it’s how we all travel and upgrade anyway).

But do remember, we’re always looking out for new offers and deals that are exclusively for those in the Travel Industry. If you know any hotels we’ve missed, or offers or discount codes that are incorrect, do drop us a line at [email protected] or let us know on our Facebook Page. And of course, do share our website & Facebook Page with your colleagues – the more people we have onboard, the more offers we can secure!

If you’re a DMC, a hotel rep, or a hotel – don’t be shy, send through your offers, and promote your hotels / airlines / cars / lounges / etc to those that work in the greatest industry in the world (and remember,  it’s not just a holiday – it’s educational!). Remember we highlight the eligibility of all of our offers, so just let us know whom what and when your offers are valid for.

And we do get a few enquiries from those who work in the industry asking us to book you stays – sorry, that’s not part of our brief (yet!). We really try and provide as much information as possible for you to book yourself, but if something is not clear – let us know!

Thank you all!

Thai Airways Industry Fares 2018

Thai Airways have released their 2018 Industry Fares to a wide range of destinations in Thailand and Asia. Fares start at £404 per person including all taxes, and you can take upto 3 companions! It’s easy to check availability before you travel (longhaul in W Class).

Thailand has a wide range of hotels offering industry discounts as well – we’ll be covering these over the weeks to come.

Needless to say that Thai Airways are a fantastic airlines – offering genuine hospitality from the moment you step on board (this is the voice of experience rather than a PR release!). We strongly recommend you try and book onto their once daily A380 departure – or if it returns to the LHR route – their brand spanking new A350.

Rumours of a launch from Manchester have been spreading for a while, so fingers crossed for this – and of course a few industry fares and FAM trips to promote the routes!
