To All Members (Tour Operators & Travel Agents),

Sub: ITC Hotels Promo Code Special Rates for IATO Members

Dear Friends,

You will be pleased to know that moving forward with the special rates for IATO members, ITC Hotels has offered Promo Code Special Rates for IATO members for which terms and conditions have been finalized.

Please note the following: -

1.            Attached please find terms and conditions as finalized by ITC hotels in consultation with IATO.  Please read the Cancellation Policy and the Force Majeure Clause carefully, which are very favourable for our members.

2.            Members who wish to avail ITC Hotels Promo Code Special Rates will need to reach out to Suvarna Mani Pradhan, ITC Hotels, Mobile: 9810511034, Email: suvarna.pradhan@itchotels.in  and Mr. Hemant Sharma, Travel Industry Sales, ITC Hotels, Mobile:  9811076651, Email: sharma.Hemant@itchotels.in, a contract will be sent to you.   

3.            After the contract is signed with ITC hotels, ITC will have your company profiled, Promo code created, contract sent and bookings enabled via code.

4.            The Promo Code will be unique for each member company and will be confidential, hence it should not be communicated to anyone else as booking made through promo code would be made on your company name against which Credit Card details will need to be filled up.

5.            Please note these Promo Code Special Rates are exclusively for INBOUND BUSINESS ONLY and NOT VALID for DOMESTIC LEISURE. Therefore, members are requested to educate all their office staff not to make any booking of Domestic clients on the Promo Code Special Rate. Our intention is that as and when inbound tourism re-starts, we will have the rates ready, which are valid till 31st March 2023.

6.            ITC has all the right to cancel booking of Domestic Travelers  if made by you or your staff inadvertently and it would be the sole, responsibility of the tour operator to adhere this to avoid any problem at a later stage if booking is cancelled by the ITC Hotels even at last minute.

7.            Promo Code Special Rates are exclusively for IATO members only and are only for FITs. Members who have contracted rates will have access to those rates based on their individual negotiations, relationships and buying power and will have choice whether to use Promo Code Rates or contracted special rates or the bar rates.

8.            These rates are valid with immediate effect till 31st March 2023.

9.            These rates are valid only for IATO Members and in case if your IATO membership is cancelled/suspended due to any reasons, the Promo Code Special Rates would be withdrawn.

10.       We will organize an interactive session with ITC Hotels with Demo/Training for the members soon.

For any clarification and more details please get in touch with any of the following: -
