Marriott International has teamed up with VISA in the Middle East and Africa to offer 3 nights stay for the price of 2 for the duration of the summer. The offer also includes 20 percent off all food and beverage at participating outlets. "At Visa, we know the summer season can be an expensive time of year, and what better way to reward our Visa cardholders than by giving them tangible holiday benefits when they pay with their Visa debit or Visa credit card," said Karim Beg, Visa's Head of Regional Marketing for MENA. "Added benefits and discounts are one of the best ways to reward our Visa cardholders, both here and overseas, so we are delighted to partner with Marriott hotels across the regional to enhance everyone's holiday experience and offer great savings through the summer." Marriott International's stable of discerning brands including JW Marriott Hotels, Renaissance Hotels, Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Courtyard by Marriott, Residence Inn by Marriott and Marriott Executive Apartments will all take part in the exclusive offer that is available until September 14th 2012. Jeff Strachan, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Marriott International Middle East & North Africa, said "Marriott customers have an eye for luxury but they also appreciate great value. We have 27 properties in the region, and our business could never succeed without the thousands of loyal customers we regularly welcome back to our hotels across the Middle East and Africa.” – SG
