We will continue our dedication to this community with strong relationships and generous incentives throughout 2009.”
Additionally, Hyatt will continue to reward travel agent partners in 2009 through several key incentive programs, including the Hyatt Slice of Paradise Program, which offers agents one free night for booking three paid client nights in the Continental U.S. or four paid client nights in Hawaii and the Caribbean. In 2009, Slice of Paradise will be rolled into a broader company-wide incentive program.
