Dear Friends,

Sub: Additions in IATO Promo Special Rates for IATO Members by IHCL - IATO 2024 - key initiatives.

This is further to our circular dated 13th September 2024 regarding additions in IATO Promo Special Rates for IATO Members by IHCL.

As  informed, some very important announcements were made by  Mr. Puneet Chhatwal, MD and CEO, IHCL on 30th August 2024 during the Inaugural Function of the 39th IATO Annual Convention in Bhopal, which also included IHCL special offer for the “Trade Fraternity” with a 25% discount on BAR rates for IATO members own travel – within India and Internationally from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2025.  

To start with, first step has been taken by offering the above 25% discount on BAR rates for the IATO members. This will offer additional support and encourage usage of IHCL hotels during promotional and educational trips of IATO agents as IHCL to our members when booking for their personal stays across Taj, SeleQtions, Gateway and Vivanta hotels in India and Internationally. This special rate is a privilege exclusively for members of a bonafide Tour Operator or Travel Agency and cannot be used for business travel.

Below is the “Travel Trade Fraternity” offer link for making bookings.
