Further Information

We have written about the Onyx Hospitality Group in the past, at the time there were no specific travel industry rates (note ti ourselves – must update that page now…)

Example of a travel industry rate at Amari Hotels

The news that there is now a travel industry discount rate for Amari hotels is welcome as this is a range that covers some superb destinations including Bangladesh, Phuket, Doha, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Maldives and many more – they have a handy destination guide.

The hotels are luxurious and modern and many rooms have outstanding views.

With the travel industry rate for Amari hotels you save money (of course) but also retain the flexibility of being able to cancel at late notice on many of the offers – these are not discounts that always require pre payment (at least not in our experience).

What more is there to say? Get browsing and potentially save yourself a packet.

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

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.
