MOVENPICK Hotels & Resorts has recently installed Mobile-Pay terminals in its nine properties in Saudi Arabia in partnership with Etihad Itisalat (Mobily). The user-friendly technology provides a wireless redemption mechanism to guests through their mobile phones. Mobile-Pay is linked to the Neqaty loyalty program which automatically provides Mobily users with one point for every Saudi riyal spent. They can subsequently redeem the points through easy-to-use channels, without the need of an additional subscription. Mohammed Fadi Sidani, Director of Communications for Movenpick Hotels & Resorts in the Kingdom, said: “We are happy to collaborate with Mobily on this exciting initiative. Our mutual guests are welcome to redeem points at any of our M?venpick properties and will benefit from a great choice of accommodation, dining options and services provided by our properties in the Kingdom.” Movenpick Hotels & Resorts are located in major cities around the Kingdom, and provide services suited to business, religious and leisure travellers. The nine properties are in Makkah, Jeddah, Al Khobar, Yanbu, Madinah, Qassim and soon in Riyadh. – SG
